Expressionism was a revolutionary cultural movement that sought to bring art and life together, blurring the boundaries between different artistic disciplines to build a unique aesthetic and emotional universe.
Its intense colours, distorted perspectives, and heightened emotions revealed what lies hidden behind reality. Following in its wake, cinema took on great potential, creating disturbing, dreamlike, and visionary images that still fascinate us today.
For the first time in Spain, a unique exhibition reveals the intense dialogue between expressionism and cinema during the early decades of the 20th century. Visitors discover how this avant-garde movement sought to meld art and cinema into a total experience, building an aesthetic and emotional universe that is still alive over a century later. From The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to Metropolis, through the urban landscapes of Otto Dix and the searing faces of Käthe Kollwitz, the exhibition is an invitation to step into a disturbing, radical, and fascinating world.
The tour combines 152 cinematographic works and fragments to take us on a one-of-a-kind journey to the heart of expressionism. This legacy still echoes in contemporary art and the film of creators like Tim Burton, Guillermo del Toro, and David Lynch.
