About the Artwork

A red dancer balanced on a black top hat

The Gay Divorcee Fred Astaire poster gives Astaire a broad smile and an outsized top hat, with Ginger Rogers dancing across its crown in a red gown. Eric Rohman keeps the ground pale yellow, leaving room for the curve of the hat and the small dancer to read together.

Artwork and design

Astaire’s close portrait fills the lower half, with warm shading around his cheeks and the light collar below. The red of Rogers’s dress picks up the cast lettering. Scattered yellow notes above the brim continue the arc of her pose and bring the musical theme into the typography.

About this design

Mark Sandrich directed the 1934 RKO musical romance with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. This Swedish design makes the pairing the focus of the sheet, with the dancer rendered at a very different scale from the portrait. The RKO Radio mark and billed names sit around the illustration.

Rooms and interiors

The large dark hat and small red dress make a lively accent in a home cinema, music room or dressing area. Pair the design with warm white and black or hang it near older dance photographs. A close viewing spot makes the little notes and dress details easier to see.
