Hohlwein’s "special way of applying colors, letting them dry at different times, and printing one on top of the other, producing modulations of shading, has often been copied, but never equaled. He belonged to no school or group, his art and personality are an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of German poster art” (Rademacher, p. 22). His full command is evidenced in this thrilling design for "The Indian Tomb,” an enormously popular action/adventure movie of its day. Based on a novel by Thea von Harbau (an ambitious German writer whose biggest achievement was to marry the renowned Fritz Lang and collaborate with him on virtually all of his scenarios) which might have well been subtitled "The Sheik Meets Indiana Jones. Both the novel and the movie are full of intrigue and treachery in exotic locations, sizzling romance and dramatic action, capped by a brave self-sacrifice by the beautiful heroine. The poster showcases the mausoleum commissioned by the Maharajah of Eschnapur as the future sepulcher for a lovely young dancer taken for his bride and the ominous tiger from a hunt scene, whose eyes spectacularly share the same golden hue as the domes background architecture. Rare!
