The Posters the Play Siroka zemlja (The Vast Domain)

Originally, the premiere of the play Siroka zemlja (The Vast Domain), a production of JDP Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia was scheduled for the spring of this year. Unfortunately, because of Covid, the premiere had been postponed a few times. Finally, it happened on September 24th.

The Vast Domain (Das weite Land) is a play by the Austrian playwright Arthur Schnitzler, which focuses on 1890s Viennese society, demonstrating the effects of upper-class codes of behaviour on human relationships.

 

"A play that combines detailed psychology with a portrait of a society... What the play shows us is couples indulging in a polite sexual excuse me behind which lurks panic, death and an insane preoccupation with honour... What is fascinating is that the action is conducted against a background of tennis parties, trips to the Dolomites, charade like affairs and summerhouse banter against Art Deco panels. Everything suggests a world of golden leisure and civilized deceit. But what Schnitzler shows us is the corrosive effect of habitual lying on this Smiles of a Summer Night' atmosphere and the destructive impact of the hero's contaminated sense of honour. I think it's a marvellous play because it pinpoints decadence with wit and irony."

The book is not only beautifully designed, full of beautiful illustrations, but also includes two of my illustrations of theatre posters created for plays Lorenzaccio (Lorencačo) and Uncle Vanya (Ujka Vanja) produced by JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theatre in Belgrade, Serbia.

#7 Modesty Blaise by Jim Holdaway

In one of my last posts about comics, I mentioned how I envy artists who can create perfect drawings with seemingly random and out-of-control lines.

I think this original from Modesty Blaise by Jim Holdaway, from 1965 is a great example. By the way, there is no one single correction on this strip.
