Alfred Hirschmeier. Pictures of scenes
Alfred Hirschmeier (1931-1996) is one of the most important German film architects. In particular, he designed imaginative buildings for numerous films as head set designer for the East German production company DEFA. He developed a special collage technique in the process. He laid transparencies over black-and-white photos of the real location and drew his colour designs onto these. These drawings have their own intrinsic artistic value. The collection comprises set designs for films by director Konrad Wolf such as Divided Heaven (GDR 1964), The Little Prince (DFF 1966), I was Nineteen (GDR 1967) and Solo Sunny (GDR 1978/79).
