The painter, graphic artist, production and set designer Josef Fenneker (1895–1956) is one of the most important representatives of artistic film posters of the 1910s and 1920s. He was commissioned primarily by Berlin’s Marmorhaus cinema, which was located on Kurfürstendamm and known for its first releases, as well as by Berlin film production companies. In a great many of his posters Fenneker incorporated influences from Expressionism, Cubism and Futurism, Art Deco, and Jugendstil (Art Nouveau). Lastly, but importantly, this wealth of styles turns the works into impressive documents that have also long been used as illustrations and atmospheric depictions of the Weimar Republic.
