German Art Between the Wars: Expressionism to Degenerate Art
Description
The 1920s were a vibrant period in German Art. We begin with the German Expressionists exemplified by Kandinsky and Franz Marc, followed by the First International Dada Fair.
We study in depth the wonderful 1920s’ New Objectivity, featuring pictures by Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, and George Grosz, and look at Bauhaus design. Photography features August Sander and we explore how Germany led the world in Expressionist cinema: “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” and “Metropolis”. We analyse the impact of Nazism, which condemned the ‘Degenerate’ Art of the Expressionists.
Residential Fees From: £253. Non Residential: £197
