Hello everybody,
I have added almost 400 new movie posters to the site. This update focuses exclusively on German Arthouse movie posters from Neue Filmkunst Walter Kirchner and Atlas Films, most of them printed between 1953 and 1974, all of them created by world-class graphic designers like Hans Hillmann or Isolde Baumgart:
https://www.filmposter.net/en/new-additions/
Hans Hillmann alone is represented with over 150 posters, covering more than 90% of his movie poster output.
Both Neue Filmkunst and Atlas Films followed a radically new approach to movie posters, that is totally unique and could never be repeated. While the posters have long been ignored by many collectors of 'traditional' movie poster art, their artistic merit has been recognized early on: The first major exhibition of Atlas and Neue Filmkunst movie posters was held by the Kunstbibliothek Berlin in 1975, showing numerous posters from their collection.
Best regards,
Helmut Hamm
