Dolores Del Rio in Resurrection
Located in Austin, TX
Resurrection is a 1927 Hollywood adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's 1899 novel Resurrection. Filmmaker Edwin Carewe adapted the book to a feature-length silent production starring Dolores del Río and featuring an appearance by Ilya Tolstoy who co-wrote the script. In 1928, due to the public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also prepared. The sound version included a newly filmed prologue in which the theme song "Russian Lullaby" was performed and sung. While the actual film had no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. In 1931, Edwin Carewe directed an all-talking remake of this film starred by Lupe Vélez...

Ella Fitzgerald - Concert in East-Berlin 1967
Located in Cologne, DE
This striking black-and-white photograph captures the legendary jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald during a live performance in East Germany (DDR) in 1967. The image showcases Fitzgerald's radiant smile, reflecting her infectious enthusiasm for music. She is elegantly dressed in a stylish black outfit, adorned with a delicate brooch on her shoulder, embodying her timeless fashion sense.
The microphone stands close to her, emphasizing her connection to the audience as she sings with heartfelt emotion. The soft lighting highlights her expressive features and voluminous hairstyle, creating a beautiful contrast against the dark background. This photograph not only celebrates Fitzgerald's remarkable talent but also encapsulates the vibrant spirit of jazz music during her era, making it a captivating piece for any art lover or music enthusiast.
Known for his exuberant and engaging performances, Bécaud, often referred to as "Monsieur 100.000 Volts" due to his electrifying stage persona, was immensely popular in the 1960s, and this concert in East Berlin would have been a rare cultural exchange during the Cold War era. His concerts were often marked by his powerful voice and the high emotional intensity of his performances, which captivated audiences across the world.
The print is new, Highest Quality on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta. More sizes up to 150x150 cm available on request.
About Tassilo Leher:
Born in the dark years of World War II, Tassilo Leher became an icon of photographic art in divided Germany. As the son of war correspondent Karl Leher, whose lens captured moments of contemporary history, he was born in 1940 in the heart of Berlin.
He shared not only the studio in the picturesque Prenzlauer Berg with his father, but also the mysterious world of the darkroom. While Karl Leher, an early riser, made use of the morning hours, Tassilo found his creative flow only by midday, often working late into the night.
His camera knew no bounds: from the dazzling stars of East German show business like Phudys, Karat, Hildegard Kneef, Manfred Krug, Bubi Scholz, to international greats such as Dean Reed, Karel Gott, Jiri Korn, and Costa Cordalis – all found themselves in front of his lens.
The Friedrichstadt-Palast and numerous film sets became his stages, where he played with light and shadow to perfectly frame famous...
