SILENT FILM POSTERS

Surrealist or hyper-realist, minimalist or original. In their unique manner, movie posters present an artistic story. These items, halfway between a painting and a commercial billboard, are valuable precisely because they are hybrid artworks. As a result, this option includes a particular type of movie image: Posters for silent films. Cinema in Silence Posters is the photos of a time when there was a lot of visual experimentation. These art pieces, which are sometimes handcrafted and sometimes printed using techniques such as lithography or linocut, reflect the grandeur of silent cinema with distinctive elegance. They portray the story of a silent cinema with only background music and onscreen dialogue. It was forced to rely on the power of expressions and emotions. In the role of Gloria Swanson in "We didn't need dialogue," says Sunset Boulevard. We had expressions. There aren't any more faces like that. Perhaps one—Garbo." This profoundly communicative feature is reflected in the poster designers' artistic choices, accentuating the figures' mimics, movements, and gestures. The title, characters, and slogans all have various consequences. The Silent Movie Posters collection contains daring, sensual, romantic, or elegant pieces. Some include vibrant colors, while others are black and white or limited in color. The absence of vocal sound in silent films results in everything but quiet products: it communicates in a global language. Similarly, silent film posters allow you to visualize a story that will be told without using words.
