Weimar Film Posters, 1918-1920. An Online Exhibition

Curated by Michael Cowan

Josef Fenneker's 1919 poster for Totentanz: a nude figure painted in pale greys arches backwards against a black ground, one arm thrown over the head, balancing on tiptoe across a row of human skulls. The title is lettered in coral across the upper right and centre left, with "Nocturno in 5 Akten" above it, "mit Sascha Gura, Werner Krauss" and "Regie: Otto Rippert" at the right, and "Marmorhaus, Kurfürstendamm 236" across the foot
