Summary:
"Traces the style trend crossing traditional genre boundaries, outlining the mutual influences between painting, graphics and film. Social criticism on the one hand, and ideal and dream images on the other, stand out in Expressionism. Caricature images of modern women and men are also present, as are new viewing habits and behaviors. The great upheavals of the early 20th century can be found in the exaggerated figures, strong contrasts and distorted perspectives characterizing form and aesthetics of the Expressionism. The whole image of this nerve-wracking time comes to life by juxtaposing different genres. Painted images as well as motion pictures reveal how deeply Expressionism was permeated by the crises of its time and how loudly it expressed the abrupt social upheavals"--Publisher's description.
