🎭 Magic Afternoon – c. 1969 – Original A1 Poster by Frieder Grindler / Tübinger Zimmertheater, Germany
Austrian counter‑culture play in stark German photomontage
| Screen Print | 84 × 59 cm | Germany
🎬 Introduction
Frieder Grindler’s poster for Wolfgang Bauer’s Magic Afternoon compresses the play’s anxious drift into a single, abrasive image: a grainy, black‑and‑white face abraded by splatter, grit, and torn-paper textures, as if the print were decaying in real time. The lowercase, weighty “magic afternoon” title locks the composition at the base, while neat white credits crown the top edge and a cast column lines the right—functional typography against a charged photographic field.
This is late‑1960s German theater design at its most incisive: concept‑led, photo‑forward, materially direct. At A1 scale the halftone reads from the street yet rewards close inspection with a dense surface—part reportage, part rupture—mirroring Bauer’s anti‑theater mood where everyday boredom tips into menace.
✨ Why It Matters
Bauer’s 1967 breakthrough sits in the European absurdist and counter‑theater wave; early production posters carry cross‑category appeal for collectors of theater history, German graphic design, and photographic poster art. Grindler—an anchor of post‑war theater graphics—channels Ulm/post‑Bauhaus rigor into a raw, documentary idiom, aligning with the protest‑era street poster while maintaining institutional clarity. Printed in modest runs for short engagements at the Tübinger Zimmertheater and posted outdoors, surviving examples are scarce. The abrasive photomontage is both promotion and critique: a portrait fused with debris and branches that telegraphs volatility beneath the banal, anticipating the auteur approach that reshaped German theater visuals by decade’s end.
