EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Berlin in 1933, a city that was both historical and modern at the same time. The image showcases a group of people playing cards, immersed in their game while surrounded by the bustling streets of Germany's capital. The scene is filled with smoke from cigarettes, adding to the atmosphere of mystery and intrigue.
The juxtaposition of old and new is evident in this snapshot of Berlin: the traditional card game being played against a backdrop of modern architecture and propaganda posters. It serves as a reminder of the city's complex history, where past and present collide to create a unique cultural tapestry.
The title "Berlin / Modern Babylon" hints at the idea that Berlin was seen as a modern-day Babylon - a place of great diversity, culture, and complexity. This notion is further reinforced by the presence of art magazines scattered around the table, symbolizing creativity and intellectualism amidst political turmoil.
Overall, this print offers a glimpse into life in Berlin during this pivotal moment in history. It invites viewers to reflect on how propaganda, art, smoking habits all played a role in shaping society at that time. A truly fascinating piece that captures the spirit of one Europe's most dynamic cities.
