from a try to form an image of based on photos couples magazines and newspapers as that of course i also crisscrossed the city for instance passing through brandenburg gate and thinking wow the great thing about berlin is you can feel the history wherever you go your sister. has made history come alive again in seven hundred sixty five illustrations of his work entitled night falls on berlin in the roaring twenty's depicts the big city lights dancers backstage and performing at the city's famous cabaret venues. the mood in the metropolis is one of sinful pleasure nippled work for five years together with a writer. to recreate this last era. but minds i think a try to capture the atmosphere from back that far from the night life in the party and my drawing star it was great fun exploring that visually for this time it's. for the. one nine hundred twenty s.

berlin is featured both in the accompanying exhibition to the book and in film. the t.v. series babylon berlin enjoys world wide success. best big me up the norm. i think interest has continued because these things are simply still valid within that's one thing what was important and fashionable in the nineteen twenty s of things people read and watch are still a good amount and so when you see the films from the period they have an unbelievable energy in the months it still goes silent film simply blow you away. in the book it's the text by boris profiler and the illustrations by will that bring one thousand nine hundred twenty s. berlin alive again it comes with an accompanying music cd. but the one nine hundred

a fond of this i know that is my insta i like drawing in black and white stock moves in the shading and contrast a part of my style well but i also think that fits perfectly with the age that's because this was a time of contrasts five accomplish that there was glamour there and there was mystery when i was i thought of the lens of. the city of sweeping change poised on the brink of a catastrophe in the one nine hundred twenty s. . such a fascinating time never get bored of it and for a look at what else was making headlines all this day in europe here's a grab bag of the other culture news. explains former king juan carlos turns eighty this friday the next monarch who still bears the honorary title king reigned for thirty nine years and early and bigoted in favor of his son philippe. one carlos is a central figure in spanish is he was born in exile in rome.
