About the Artwork

A sideways glance under yellow lettering

The Mr. Wu 1927 poster places Lon Chaney’s face against black beneath a line of yellow lettering. He wears a dark green cap and a yellow robe with green trim. His sideways glance and dark pointed beard dominate the close-cropped Swedish design.

Artwork and design

Fine pale lines pick out folds and details in the robe. The yellow along the collar repeats in the title above, and a small green accent runs across the cap. Chaney’s name is printed wide at the base, with Renée Adorée and Ralph Forbes beneath it.

About this design

The 1927 MGM silent drama cast Chaney as a Chinese patriarch and also features Adorée and Forbes. The artwork foregrounds the costume and makeup used to present Chaney’s role. The spare background keeps attention on his expression and the striking yellow title.

Rooms and interiors

Display it in a cinema room or a grouping of silent-era actor portraits. The green and yellow work with a subdued wall and dark frame. Give the face enough room to read at a distance and the small billing room to read close up.
