WATER SKIING IN THE MOVIES - Lot 42
WATER SKIING IN THE MOVIES Constance Talmadge, Louis Mercanton’s United Artists film “Venus,” 1929. Vintage Belgian lithographic poster, printed by P. Verstegen – Brussels. 77.5 x 61 cm. Poster mounted on canvas in excellent condition. Note: This vintage Belgian lithographic poster for the film *Venus* (1929), directed by Louis Mercanton and distributed by United Artists, features Constance Talmadge, one of the great stars of American cinema during the late silent era. Her imposing central portrait, rendered with typical Art Deco refinement, is flanked by the profiles of two male characters, hinting at the film’s romantic entanglements. In the lower left corner, a stylized female silhouette water-skiing evokes the world of sports and seaside life at the heart of this romantic comedy. Printed in Brussels by P. Verstegen, this poster exemplifies the graphic elegance of Belgian posters from the late 1920s, characterized by bold colors, geometric compositions, and a decidedly modern typography. The combination of Hollywood glamour, water sports, and Art Deco aesthetics perfectly reflects the image of a society focused on luxury, vacations, and modernity at the dawn of the 1930s. Mounted on canvas and preserved in excellent condition, this poster is a high-quality collector’s item, sought after both for the rarity of Belgian posters and for Constance Talmadge’s significance in the history of silent cinema.
