EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white poster takes us back to the early 20th century in Hungary, where the silent film Oliver Twist was produced by Corvin. The talented Hungarian artist Janos Bednar skillfully captures the essence of this timeless literary character with his intricate illustration. The scene depicted shows a young boy, representing Oliver Twist, standing in a dimly lit room at night. Through an open window, we catch a glimpse of the moonlight shining on his face, emphasizing his vulnerability and innocence. Beside him stands an elderly man, symbolizing the hardships faced by society's marginalized individuals. Bednar's use of green hues adds depth to the composition while subtly hinting at poverty and destitution. The old man's hand gesture suggests pleading or perhaps even telling a story that resonates deeply with both characters. This vintage print not only serves as a collector's item but also highlights social issues prevalent during that time period. It reminds us of the power of storytelling through film and literature to shed light on human struggles and appeal for change. Overall, this poster beautifully captures the spirit of Oliver Twist while showcasing Bednar's artistic talent as he brings this iconic character to life on paper.
