Within a decade of settling in Berlin, in 1918, Josef Fenneker had designed over 300 movie posters. He primarily worked for two movie houses, the Marmorhaus and the Mozartsaal, but also designed images for the large German movie producer UFA. From the beginning of his career, Fenneker developed his own personal style, which drew largely on German Expressionism combined with a flair of aesthetic decadence. "The Unwilling Father" was a short film released in 1918.
From the Hans Sachs Collection, with the collector's stamp on verso.
