Home / Peter Strausfeld

A fine collection of film posters designed by Peter Strausfeld, an emigré artist who was interned during the War along with Academy Cinema director George Hoellering. After the War Hoellering asked Strausfeld to produce some posters for the cinema which he did in wood and lino-cuts till his death in 1980.
The Academy Cinema in Oxford Street, London, was built in 1913 and was saved from conversion to a shopping arcade in 1928 by Elsie Cohen of the original Film Society, who proceeded to run it as an arthouse which is how it was ran till it's closure in 1986.
The posters became a London landmark, in fact very few were used outside of London, resulting in very small print runs of 3-500.
Most of the posters were printed by the prestigious Westminster Press and later by Ward and Foxlow.
