Vintage German poster for the play Somow und Andere (Somow and Others) by Russian playwright Maxim Gorky. Illustrated on the poster is a mesmerizing graphic by celebrated graphic artist Rudolf Gruttner. The dramatic red print with its repeated male profiles creates a hypnotic, surreal effect—Somow und Andere probably isn't a comic play.
