Life

Ferry Ahrlé, the son of René Ahrlé , grew up in Berlin. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts under Max Kaus, among others, and, in addition to his studies, took acting lessons from the later castle actor Albin Skoda . Ahrlé's portrait of Skoda as Torquato Tasso hangs in the Burgtheater in Vienna . For two seasons he drew the program titles of the Berliner Philharmoniker , including the portraits of Sergiu Celibidache , Wilhelm Furtwängler , Yehudi Menuhin and Otto Klemperer . He designed decorations for the film “ Berliner Ballade ” and for the literary cabaret “ Die Stachelschweine ”.

Ahrlé went to Frankfurt am Main in the mid-1950s. It was here that his film posters were made for films by Federico Fellini , Ingmar Bergman , Luis Buñuel , François Truffaut and Roman Polański, among others . On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the film, these were shown together with portraits of actors in the German Film Museum.

Ahrlé worked in Paris in the 1960s . Back in Germany he showed his picture cycles "Signal und Schiene", "Von Ikarus bis Übersall", "Das Geld im Oper und Schauspiel", "Mozartissimo", "Alles Theater" and "Gemalte Musik" from the 1970s on.

From 1979 to 1990 he was present on television. He also wrote the scripts for his various series. In his series "The little ones of the big ones" he invented subservient spirits of historical personalities. In the “Galerie der Straße” he appeared in the roles of great poster artists.

In the series "Very similar, who should it be?" He talked to his interlocutors and portrayed them at the same time. Personalities such as Maria Schell , Marianne Hoppe , Erika Pluhar , Karl John , Paul Dahlke , Martin Held , Johannes Heesters , Yehudi Menuhin , Erich von Däniken and many others were his models. For this special and entertaining way of portraying in a double sense, he received the “Golden Award” at the “International Film and Television Festival” in New York .

In addition to painting, Ahrlé wrote books. His pictures hang in private and public collections. He lived and worked in Frankfurt am Main and in Berlin.
