Poster, Wozzeck
This is a Poster. It is dated 1964 and we acquired it in 2013. Its medium is offset lithograph on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
This poster depicts a scene from Alban Berg’s atonal opera Wozzeck. The title character stabs the mother of his child and throws the bloodied weapon into a lake. He later drowns while trying to retrieve the knife. The illustration unites Wozzeck’s cries with the currents of the bloodied water and the blood-red moon above.
This object was featured in our Object of the Week series in a post titled A Bloody, Primal Scream.
It is credited Museum purchase from Friends of Drawings & Prints Fund.
