J. Müller, Hans Hillmann, and the New Film Art. 2024.
Content
Starting in the 1950s, two West German distributors revolutionized the aesthetics of movie posters: Neue Filmkunst and Atlas Film. Both worked with Hans Hillmann (1925–2014), one of the most renowned commercial artists of his time. Hillmann began designing movie posters while still a student at the Werkakademie in Kassel. Over a period of more than two decades, he created numerous posters that, thanks to their revolutionary new visual concepts, have entered the canon of international design history.
