Colourful, emotional, impulsive and modern - these are the
qualities which characterise our ideas of German Expressionist
painting. It is hard to believe that the works caused a scandal
when they were first created. And yet, artists and writers were
united in the vision of a new beginning combined with fundamental
social criticism. Many aspects like the social problems of the big
city, the sleazy glamour of the world of entertainment and the
rejection of new technology remain surprisingly topical to this
day. Immerse yourself in the powerful images and texts of world
literature and embark on a journey of discovery through the world
of the early 20th century with its atmosphere of change and decay.
