About the Artwork

A diver inside diagonal currents

The White Shadows in the South Seas underwater poster places a diver amid long pale streaks and fish shapes. The diver reaches down as the brighter marks cut diagonally across the teal water. Eric Rohman varies the size of the surrounding fish to give the underwater scene depth.

Artwork and design

Orange lettering stretches across the upper edge above dark and pale forms. Small bubbles and short lines follow the diagonal around the diver. Near the base, pale shells and sea shapes break up the teal, with Monte Blue and Raquel Torres credited in black across the lighter area.

About this design

W. S. Van Dyke directed the 1928 MGM film with Monte Blue and Raquel Torres. The story takes place in a South Pacific pearl-diving community. The Swedish design puts the underwater setting first, with the small swimmer surrounded by larger forms and open water.

Rooms and interiors

The teal and orange fit a coastal room, study or cinema nook with pale wood or warm white. Give the poster enough space for the long diagonals to read together. A closer view reveals the smaller bubbles, shells and lettering along the base.
