Experiment Expressionismus: Schiele Meets Nosferatu

The wide-ranging world of German and Austrian Expressionism is discovered at the intersection of art and film

This catalog 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 and sculpture, the book highlights silent film--then the new and arguably leading medium of the era. Through posters, film stills and excerpts from classics such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and 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. Beyond Schiele and Nosferatu, artists featured in the book include Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Max Pechstein, Herbert Boeckl, Helene Funke, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Oppenheimer, Egon Schiele, Helene von Taussig and many more.
