		The filmmakers of the German UFA studio developed a method of compensating for the lack of high budgets, by using symbolism and mise-en-scène to insert mood and deeper meaning into a movie.
		The plots and stories of the Expressionist films often dealt with madness, insanity, betrayal, and other "intellectual" topics (as opposed to standard action-adventure and romantic films); the German name for this type of storytelling was called kammerspielfilm.
		German emigrees such as Karl Freund (the cinematographer for Dracula in 1931) set the style and mood of the Universal monster movies of the 1930s with their dark and artistically designed sets, providing the benchmark for later generations of horror films.

	The Splitting of Peyton Westlake
		This hero is sometimes portrayed through the Expressionist as the doppelganger, or split personality: the "madman struggling to find identity in a confusing world."

	Gabriele Munter: Espoused to Art.(German Expressionist painter) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		In addition, she developed both an artistic and romantic connection with artist Wassily Kandinsky that were to determine the way her paintings were perceived by the public.
		Munter lived to regret that relationship passionately, and it is impossible to consider her work without reference to its impact on her art and life.
		In this she was certainly correct, for she was unable always to sustain her bold Expressionist vocabulary and retreated from time to time to a conservative naturalism, as in the searching Self-Portrait in Front of an Easel (ca.

		German Art historian Peter Selz further explores the diversity of the Expressionist movement in the exhibition catalogue, where he writes about the influence of tribal art of Africa and the South Pacific and earlier German artists such as Cranach and Dürer.
		According to Museum curator Susan Danly, the great strength of the German Expressionist movement as a whole and of the Bradford collection in particular comes from their ability to engage the viewer in an examination of the uneasy confrontation between the self and modern society.
		German Expressionism attempts to get below the surface reality, 'under the skin,' to portray some of the deeper feelings and issues with which people struggle." The Bradfords began collecting German art shortly after their marriage in the early1960s, when there was little demand for such art in this country.

		The German Expressionist picture is an extension of the Expressionist art movement of the day, which sought to portray through art the impressions of the outside world as they occur inside man. The result is that Expressionism presents a distorted exaggeration of its subject matter.

		It is, instead, in direct correlation to the violent brushstrokes of Expressionist painting or the staccato utterances of Expressionist poetry, an outward interpretation of the extreme inner emotions felt in extreme situations - fear, anger, and occasionally, though rarely in the films at hand, joy.

		"There are few German painters who have had as long and distinguished a career as Max Beckmann, and fewer still who have been able to sustain the consistent level of excellence he maintained throughout his career.

		Beckmann's art was methodically removed from German museums, and by 1937, nearly six hundred of his works had been confiscated.

		It has an expressionist set design, such that the backgrounds are not recognizable views of what we know a town should look like, but instead highly stylized, angular papier mache symbolic representations of a town in a state of torment.
		The film has expressionist moments (and clearly many film scholars talk about it as a full-blown expressionist film), but these moments are contained by its larger narrative concerning the intimate life of its central character, a doorman at a hotel who is demoted to lavatory attendant.

		If we were to look more closely at French and German art of the years between 1907 and 1912, the similarities would be strong, but the harsh vigor of the German works is far different from the more refined, more remote spirit of the French.
		Social upheavals, war and the inherent miseries of human life are amply documented in the supreme renderings of grief by Kathe Kollwitz and in the vitriolic satire of Georg Grosz.

		The cinematic Expressionist movement in Germany is generally considered to be the classic period of German cinema; many Expressionist works are included in the canon of the world’s greatest films.
		The Expressionists practically reinvented the look of film with innovative and unusual editing rhythms, perspectivally distorted sets, exaggerated gestures, and the famous “camera unchained” -- a new technique that allowed the camera to move within the scene, vastly increasing the accessibility of the character’s subjective point of view.
		The Expressionists developed new habits of seeing, new ways to interpret the way people relate to social living and self-identification.

		The title is actually a misnomer; a more accurate title would indicate that this is the art that the Kaiser hated, that the right-wingers who helped to bring about the downfall of the Weimar Republic hated, and that the militarists who ultimately threw their support to the Nazis hated.
		One of the subjects of continuing interest to the German Expressionists was the human figure.
