Description
One of the most important modernist German graphic artists, Hans Hillmann designed posters for many famous films released in 1950s, 60s and 70s. Kemistry Gallery will present the first exhibition of Hillman’s work in the UK giving a full overview of his career and the evolution of his style.
Hillmann design posters for films by revered directors including Robert Bresson, René Clair, Jean-Luc Godard and Luis Buñuel.
With his bold, daring creations, Hillmann transformed the art of film advertisement. However, he remains relatively unknown in the UK.
In the 1950s he used a painterly form of illustration, while throughout the 60s his designs increasingly included photography. Experimental motifs that often appear in his work include ripped paper and the use of multiple images, so the poster resembles a film strip. Meanwhile the designs he created in the late 1960s and 70s, show the influence that Minimalism had on him.
Hillmann died in May this year.
