An Original Vintage Unfolded East German Stage Play Poster (measures 22 3/4" x 32" [58 x 81 cm]) (Learn More) Brecht Im Tip (literally translates to "Brecht in the Tip"), the 1988 East German stage play production (related to playwright Bertolt Brecht) which was held at the Theater im Palast in Berlin, East Germany. Note that this poster has an Otto Kummert design featuring an image of Brecht. Bertolt Brecht was a German theatre practitioner, playwright, and poet from the 1920s to 1956. He was the main proponent of the genre named epic theater. During the Nazi period and World War II (WWII) he lived in exile, first in Scandinavia and then in the United States. In the years of the Cold War and "Red Scare", Brecht was blacklisted by movie studio bosses and interrogated by the House Un-American Activities Committee. In 1947, Brecht testified to HUAC that he had never been a member of the Communist Party and made wry jokes throughout the proceedings. Brecht's decision to appear before the committee led to criticism, including accusations of betrayal. The day after his testimony, Brecht returned to Europe, and eventually moved to East Berlin in 1949, where he established the theatre company Berliner Ensemble with his wife and long-time collaborator, actress Helene Weigel. Some of his works include: The Threepenny Opera, Life of Galileo, and Mother Courage and Her Children. Brecht passed away in 1956 at the age of 58. Artist: Otto Kummert Important Added Info: Note that silkscreen (also known as screen printing) is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a poster. Only one color is printed at a time, so several screens must be used to produce a multicolored design, and it is a laborious technique because it is traditionally all done by hand. Because of the rich thickness of the layer of color on the paper and the resulting depth and brilliance achieved through silkscreen printing, this technique was preferred by many artists throughout many cultures and periods. Condition: very good to fine. The poster is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
