About the Artwork

Two studio portraits under a rising black title

The Mr. Smith Goes to Washington poster puts James Stewart and Jean Arthur below a rising black title. Broad red, blue and orange sections give the Swedish design its color. Fine lines sketch figures at the upper right and a Capitol dome near the base.

Artwork and design

The actors’ grayscale faces emerge from a dark shape in the lower left. Blue lettering gives Frank Capra’s name a separate place at the top, and the black title crosses several colors on its way upward. The small dome balances the title and portraits at the right.

About this design

Capra’s 1939 Columbia film follows a newly appointed U.S. senator played by Stewart, with Arthur as his aide Clarissa Saunders. This artwork advertises the film as Mr. Smith i Washington. Its bright diagonals and small civic landmarks give the political setting a graphic shorthand.

Rooms and interiors

Hang it in a study, office or classic cinema gallery. Red and blue make a strong accent against cream, gray or natural wood. Allow enough viewing space for both the angled title and the small line drawings to register.
