JOSEF FENNEKER (1895-1956)
LUNA - PARK / HALENSEE. Circa 1920.

Fenneker's recognizable style - most famously seen in over 300 movie poster designs - drew largely on German Expressionism combined with a flair of aesthetic decadence. Here, he presents a dramatic view of Berlin's Luna-Park amusement park, in operation from 1909 to 1933. He designed at least four other alluring posters for the park, each with a glamorous couple against a dark background to emphasize the glow of the pink, yellow and teal details.
