Expresionismo. Un arte de cine delves into the revolutionary Expressionist movement, a cultural force that aimed to unite art and life and blur the lines between artistic disciplines to create a unique aesthetic and emotional universe. Its intense colors, distorted perspectives, and heightened emotions were instrumental in revealing what lies beneath reality, significantly influencing cinema. This exhibition, the first of its kind in Spain, highlights the intense dialogue between Expressionism and cinema during the early decades of the 20th century. Visitors can discover how this avant-garde movement strived to merge art and film into a comprehensive experience, crafting an aesthetic and emotional world that continues to resonate over a century later. The exhibition features iconic works ranging from 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' to 'Metropolis', alongside the urban landscapes of Otto Dix and the anguished portraits of Käthe Kollwitz, inviting viewers into a disquieting, radical, and fascinating imaginary. The exhibition journey combines 152 works and film excerpts, offering a unique exploration into the heart of Expressionism. Its enduring influence is still palpable in contemporary art and the films of creators like Tim Burton, Guillermo del Toro, and David Lynch.
