About the Artwork

An Art Deco dancer strides across Broadway

The Broadway Melody 1929 poster places a show dancer on a steep diagonal amid yellow, magenta and teal. Cast names cross the stage on narrow bands of color. Eric Rohman gives the tall central figure room to move between the large Swedish lettering and the dark silhouettes below.

Artwork and design

Small performers and a round stage light carry the eye across the middle. Broadways melodi bends around the top and side, with lettering for song, dance and speech tucked into the design. Along the base, the top hats make a row of angular profiles against the bright stage colors.

About this design

Harry Beaumont directed MGM’s 1929 musical with Bessie Love, Anita Page and Charles King. The story follows two sisters trying to make their way in show business. Rohman brings that world into the Swedish advertising through the dancer’s pose, the names printed across the stage and the onlookers along the bottom.

Rooms and interiors

The strong diagonals work over a low cabinet or beside a record shelf, where they can read from a distance. Pair the yellow and teal with warm white walls or dark lacquer. Up close, the smaller lettering gives a gallery of musical posters something extra to look for.
