Siebdruck-Adaption von Jakob Hinrichs zu Heinrich Zilles „Wir alle spielen Circus Busch“ (1922)
Like no other, the painter, draughtsman and photographer Heinrich Zille captured the spirit, foibles, misery and wit of Berliners on paper.
His "Miljöh" is legendary and his pictures capture the speakeasies, grocers' shops, dance halls, brothels, living rooms and street scenes of Berlin. Zille's fame stems above all from the publications of his drawings in illustrated magazines.
In cooperation with tipBerlin, the idea of a Zille folder with silkscreen prints by various artists was born, which can now be seen in the Zille Museum.
Artists:
- Barbara Yelin,
- Henning Wagenbreth,
- Mawil,
- Jim Avignon
- and Jakob Hinrichs
They each chose an image from Zille's oeuvre and used very different visual approaches to draw bridges between Zille's times and the present. The result is an exhibition that reinterprets Zille's art and brings it to life.
