After World War II, political confrontation caused the division of Germany into East and West and the German film world also took two separate paths. The different film production or distribution companies in East and West commissioned new generation of graphic artists to make their own film posters. West Germany was notable impressive posters with effective use of typography and in East Germany they created introspective, yet freely expressive work focusing upon illustration. This exhibition introduces two different graphic styles that flourished on either side of the Iron Curtain, through 85 posters produced from the late 1950s to 1990, the year Germany was reunified.
