La Perla c1947 Swedish Film Poster, Gösta Åberg

Emilio Fernandez's The Pearl, adapted from John Steinbeck, is one of the great films of Mexico's Golden Age. Pedro Armendariz stars as a poor fisherman whose discovery of a priceless pearl brings hope, greed and tragedy, captured in Gabriel Figueroa's extraordinary photography.

Gösta Åberg’s Swedish poster translates that elemental drama into bold painted cinema art. A distinctive figure in Swedish film-poster design, Åberg had a gift for reducing an entire story to a few powerful images, expressive faces and beautifully controlled colour. Sun, sea, fate and human desire – distilled with real graphic power.

This original movie poster is sized approx. 27 1/2 x 39 1/4 inches. It will be sent rolled (unframed).
