Today, Vice Press will be releasing this killer new Nosferatu movie poster by artist Chris Weston. As Weston explained, “I’ve long been obsessed with Max Schreck’s extraordinary performance as Baron Orlok in F.W. Murnau’s classic silent movie, Nosferatu: Eine Symphonie des Grauens. This was the first –albeit unofficial – portrayal of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and I think it has yet to be surpassed.”
“My eyes are riveted to this rodentine vampire, and the bizarre way he scurries across the screen in his quest for victims. His skeletal features are frozen in a visage of utter despair, horrified by this creature he’s become… Like all the best movie monsters he invokes equal amounts of pity and terror. This is what I wanted to capture in this portrait: a fetid rat-like figure... framed by the pestilence and ruination that define his wretched existence.”- Chris Weston
Nosferatu by Chris Weston is an 18”x36” signed and numbered screen print. Limited to 100 pieces, this movie poster will go on sale at 6pm BST today, Thursday, May 13th, at Vice-Press.com for £49.99.
