Deutschland paper is madly underrated.
From the unobtainable:

Your wallet would, Rosa ;)
Those done in the decades past, often brought out the most interesting and artistic, no matter the country.
These are fantastic, ladeda!

The first two certainly have a propaganda look to them. Jews were portrayed in this way in many German political posters. The first one is called "the Invisible Thief," according to this from 1920.
Ladeda, hope you get one soon. I am curious know to learn a bit more about DE posters.
It would be naive to dismiss it and say it was solely the expressionist influence. There's a foreboding doom to Fenneker's earlier work that I imagine was the tone of Berlin at the time (his style shifted dramatically in the 20s and even further in the 30s)
Albin Grau also captured that well with overt influence of german occultism:

I actually bid on the Eine Welt Ohne Liebe poster last year. Of course I was beat by a dealer now offering it for a mere $15,000 crying

I thought "hey maybe I'll pick up a Fenneker", google search, shattered dreams, etc.
At least you tried!! I know how it feels when a dealer or deep-pockets is in the room. Now lets see how much s/he will be selling it for....
$15,000? I get nervous when things creep towards the high hundreds!

It's not that I don't appreciate rarity, more that I'd have to sell both of my children to raise the equity...

@ Matias -- I hugs 'em when I meets 'em.
Thanks Ted and Jeff.
I think Ari is holding back some here... I seem to remember a great German poster picturing a car on the beach
Hey wait, what?

RASPUTIN SIZE:Thanks, Peckinpah! I didn't know about the paper stock difference between years. I've often wondered how many pre-war German posters survived? Also, how do you like the Rasputin poster itself? Okie
The German Din A1 format (23x33 inch or 59 x 84cm) was used by German distributors after WWII ended, approx. 1946/47.
Before that, rom the 20s until the 40s, German posters had been much bigger! About the size of Italian 2-foglio posters: 140cm x 96cm. And on thick paper stock too, so they are very often in much better condition than stuff from Italy, France or Spain...
Wendt's detail, especially when painting skin, is excitingly vivid! Beautiful images of Taka, Monroe, Olivier, Dean, Flynn, Wood, and Brando. Thanks, Peckinpah. Okie
Turned on by skin, eh, Okie? 8) ;)
Hey, that was me over a year ago, Jeff! I've moved on to organ meats now.
Okie
My current avatar is the original German Rasputin 1932 movie poster starring the great Conrad Veidt. On IMDB, today is the listed release date in Germany of February 19, 1932 (87 years ago). According to IMDB, this date was based on the delivery of the German censorship certificate. Interestingly, I took the below picture of the Weimar stamp on the poster and the date is February 11, 1932. I'm hoping our great German poster expert, Peckinpah, will please provide some insight perhaps on the difference in the two dates. Is the poster stamp approving only the poster image for release? Should the poster stamp be the same as the date on the censorship certificate? Thanks for any help with these questions! Or, am I not asking the right question? Okie
