Item Overview

Description

SVEN BRASCH (1886-1970) CASINO / SYNDERINDEN. 1924
32x23 1/4 inches, 81x59 cm. Kruckow-Waldorff, [Copenhagen.]
Condition A-: minor repaired tears in margins; crease in image.
Advertising a performance of Synderinden [Sinner], starring the popular Danish actress Ellen Aggerholm, "Brasch here has focussed on Aggerholm's face, especially the lips, eyes and hair, to create the feeling of a fallen woman, the subject of the play." (Dailey-Turner, introduction). One of Brasch's most famous images, it was exhibited in Paris in 1925 and reached a wider audience the following year when a color reproduction was included in Sydney Jones's Posters & Publicity. Dailey-Turner 15, Posters & Publicity p. 143.
