L'Inhumaine
Art deco geometry burns cold around a diva science cannot save.
What
The grande affiche for Marcel L'Herbier's 1924 avant-garde melodrama.
Why
It fused cinema with the Paris Exposition-era decorative arts, hiring architects and Cubist designers to build its world.
Notice
The angular deco lettering and flat planes of colour that announce a film built as a moving artwork.
