Poster proposal for Zurich's film festival event for Louise Brooks. Which takes place at Filmpodium Zürich.
Louise Brooks (1906-1985)
Louise Brooks is an American motion-picture actress who was noted for her seemingly effortless incarnation of corrupt sensuality in silent-picture roles during the 1920s.
From a letter to her brother: “I have been taking stock of my 50 years since I left Wichita in 1922 at the age of 15 to become a dancer with Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn. How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything — spelling, arithmetic, riding, swimming, tennis, golf, dancing, singing, acting, wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of ‘not trying.’ I tried with all my heart”.
