Description

Base painting of the vintage movie poster for ''Never the Twain Shall Meet'', 1931, with Leslie Howard.

Base art is the poster artwork after the text has been digitally removed. It thereby closely recreates the original painting used for the poster. As practically all those original paintings have been lost, a recreation attempts to display the original art before the movie studios added descriptive text.

About the artist:

Gösta Åberg (Sept. 6, 1905, Stockholm - April 9, 1981) was a Swedish painter, cartoonist, sculptor, and advertising artist. Between 1935 and 1965, Åberg designed posters for thousands of films, which are now part of the Film History collections at the Technical Museum in Stockholm.

Aberg creates incredibly modern conceptual graphic artworks. The faces of the movie stars are no longer the main protagonists of the composition, but often objects or distinctive scenes. The style is linear, geometric, essential.

Aberg creates extremely symbolic compositions, consisting of evocative elements but delineated in a precise manner. His works are characterized by simplicity and stylization. The objects are made uniform and simplified, giving the viewer a feeling of order and comprehensibility. Aberg is a refined interpreter of the world of cinema, which tends to make complex worlds immediate and clear.
