About the Artwork
Spotlights sweep across the circus ring
The Devil’s Circus Norma Shearer poster looks across an arena lit by overlapping beams of cream, yellow and pink. Small aerial figures sit high in the composition. Eric Rohman leaves a broad sweep of peach between the lamps and the curved cage bars, giving the ring a sense of depth.
Artwork and design
The light beams meet at sharp angles over big cats and low painted platforms. Curved lines keep the eye moving around the floor beneath those straight diagonals. At the bottom, the pale title block lifts the black Djävulens cirkus lettering clear of the busy arena scene.
About this design
Danish filmmaker Benjamin Christensen directed the 1926 MGM silent drama with Norma Shearer, Charles Emmett Mack and Carmel Myers. The Swedish poster makes the circus setting the focus of the design. Its small performers and wide view capture the scale of the venue in a single scene.
Rooms and interiors
The peach and gold sit comfortably with warm neutrals, dark wood or bronze in a den or home cinema. Give the piece enough viewing distance for the beams to read together. A closer look brings out the small figures overhead and the patterned color around the ring.
