Zille adaptation by Jim Avignon

Screen print edition from tipBerlin

Screen print adaptation by Jim Avignon of Heinrich Zille's "Children of the Street" (1908)

Heinrich Zille is the forefather of Berlin drawing - his "Milljöh" is legendary.

Contemporary artist Jim Avignon has reinterpreted the cover image of Zille's picture book "Children of the Street" with his very own visual approach: "With Zille, it was two prostitutes and a pimp. But I only found that out later, after I had covered the motif. With me, it then became more of a street scene with people aimlessly but happily wandering through the night in search of the next pleasure."
