Author: Husslein-Arco, AgnesThis catalogue offers an expansive, cross-genre view of art and culture in the German-speaking world at the start of the 20th century. Beyond the classical visual arts of painting & sculpture, the book highlights silent film—the new and arguably leading medium of the era. Beyond Schiele and 'Nosferatu', artists featured include Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Max Pechstein, Herbert Boeckl, Helene Funke, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Oppenheimer, Egon Schiele, Helene von Taussig.Through posters, film stills and excerpts from classics such as 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' & 'Metropolis', as well as paintings from the Heidi Horten Collection, with a particular focus on German and Austrian Expressionism, the contents of this book vividly illustrate the avant-garde and influential spirit of Expressionism across artistic disciplines.
