The total artwork in expressionism 1905 - 1925

Mehr zum Buch

Until the publication of "The Total Artwork in Expressionism" and this new audio companion to the book, art history had preferred to address German Expressionism's many genres as though they were unrelated, tending to exclude works which could not be readily categorized. Here, in 50 color reproductions, alongside an audio tour of the exhibition that both volumes accompany, masterpieces of Expressionist film such as Robert Wiene's "The" "Cabinet of Dr. Caligari"are united with set designs; the works of painters and set designers such as Ernst Barlach, Otto Bartning, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Kokoschka and Ludwig Meidner are also examined, alongside film stills by Cesar Klein and Hans Poelzig; and documents by Bruno Taut and Ernst Toller, music scores by Paul Hindemith, poster art, dance masks and stage photographs provide archival background.
