Description:
Decorative pop art poster for an East-German drama movie. Original title: Das Licht auf dem Galgen.
The poster is quite shocking and controversial. The two legs sagging from the top are obviously someone's legs who's just been hanged. The pattern of his feet picture suffering men. In the light of this, the choice of colours is very interesting. The background is vivid pink and the legs are yellow. These joyful colours are in a complete contrast with the theme of the composition and this is what gives the essence of the whole picture.
