Nosferatu
« on: June 10, 2008, 07:44:46 PM »
I just finished watching the wonderfully restored Kino Nosferatu. It really is quite amazing. The soundtrack is thrilling, and the film is crystal clear.

I was watching the documentary on the movie, and was wondering where I could find some nice scans of some of the production art artist Albin Grau did for the film. I searched the net with no luck.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

  Mike:
  Try finding Lotte Eisner's biography of F.W. Murnau or "Hollywood Gothic" by David Skall and there may be something in "Graven Images" by Ron Borst.
   Hmmmn, and maybe "The Hunted Screen: Expressionism in the German Cinema and the Infulence of Max Reinhardt" by Lotte Eisner.
   These are the only titles I can think of right now that might have the production sketches.

Six drawings from the German production book are in Graven Images. Here they are.

You can get a repro of a US window card that used the image from the production book cover.
