Lot description

Wien, F. Adametz, [1946]

Chromolith., wove paper 21,5 x 87 cm; signed in upper left part.

Mounted on cloth (folds).

Impressive poster before lettering representing a woman embraced by a huge reptile. For the film "Schleichendes Gift" (Creeping Poison) by Hermann Wallbrück, a German cinematographer. The movie was a documentary, with re-enacted scenes, to educate the Austrian rural population about venereal diseases after WWII and to motivate them to seek a medical examination. The Hungarian-born Austrian artist Mezey (1899-1991) was specially admired for his large outdoor posters designs for the newly emerging film industry.
