Expressionism art movement in relation to Film

In this essay, I will be looking at the art movement of expressionist style in relation to the development of German expressionism film. I will also be looking at how drawings and paintings have been bought to life within the use of film.

The expressionist movement began mainly around Dresden in Germany before the First World War I. This was the same year the organization group Die Bruche (The Bridge) was formed. The artists Fritz Bleyl, Erich Heckel, Ernst Kugwin Kirchner, and Karl Schmidt Rottluff, created freedom to learn with and from one other, it was no accident that they discovered the use of woodcuts. Woodcut lithography and posters were the main sources for expressionism, the group was eager to find forms that imitated nature, and to make visible to paper, through the use of bright and bold colours enhancing the shape and form. Colour, drawings and proportions were very important. Line and colours were often pronounced; colour and value contrast was intensified.

Between the year 1905 to 1911, the main influence for the artist came from Jugendstil (a german version of art Nouveau) Vincent Van Gogh, and especially Edvard Munch, this lead to Marc and Kandinsky
