My impression of German expressionism is that of a Gothic nature. They appear to feature an awful lot of sinister angles which create large silhouettes to emphasize the eerie feel of their images. They appear very abstract and their angles exaggerated Which is why in my work i will use low angle to show the main character Dracula. The dramatic shadow's must be a key part mainly from the light of the moon as that is of a Gothic nature.
This is a collage of some artwork and films that are from the German expressionism. German expressionism is from the era of 1920-40's and covers a wide range of creative arts such as paintings, sculptures, photographs and films. It mainly was a movement from Germany as Germany was isolated from the rest of Europe resulting in abnormal work. Blocked imports lead to more of the artistic work being created. With the worth of money in Germany decreasing movie goers were attending these films almost freely.
