Art & Dance, Part 3 of 4: German Expressionism, Bauhaus and Surrealism

[Virtual tour] The art scene in Northern Europe during the early 20th century is quite distinct from that in France. Edward Munch’s Dance of Life with its related series of works, inspired the birth of Expressionism in Germany and the focus on more existential concerns of life. Berlin developed into a thriving, multicultural metropolis, where artists challenged the proper neo-classical traditions and absorbed alternative non-western influences, but also American Jazz. Cabarets offered a stage for free modern expression, but artists also captured the signs of decadence, and deep suffering in the wake of WWI. At the Bauhaus, dance and movement became part of an overall investigation into figure and space, but also the search for a new modern identity. (Artists included in this program led by art historian Sylvia Laudien-Meo: Edward Munch, Ferdinand Hodler, Otto Dix, E.L.Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Max Beckmann, Oskar Schlemmer, Paul Klee, and others)
