How expressionism crossed genres in pursuit of the total artwork, from Nolde to MurnauAs a revolutionary cultural movement, Expressionism endeavored to join art and life and diminish the separation between the arts. The Gesamtkunstwerk--the total artwork--became the ideal for artists. Expressionism in Art and Film traces this crossing of genre boundaries, outlining mutual influences between painting, graphics and film. Exaggerated figures, strong contrast and distorted perspective pervaded all three mediums, reflecting the tremendous angst of the early 20th century's social upheavals. Social critique also figured centrally in the movement, in caricatured depictions of modern men and women. This volume highlights these elements of Expressionism, drawing parallels between art and film. Artists Erich Heckel, Emil Nolde, Paula Mondersohn-Becker, Alexander Kanoldt, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Otto Mueller figure here, as well as directors Robert Wiene, F.W. Murnau and Ernst Lubitsch.

Il volume presenta il catalogo ragionato della produzione documentata di Arredoluce, che conta 555 fra lampade e complementi di arredo, e la ricostruzione della storia dell'azienda e dei designer che vi hanno lavorato. Arredoluce nasce nel 1943 a Monza grazie ad Angelo Lelii, imprenditore e progettista: la sua curiosità per le innovazioni provenienti dall'estero, unita all'amore per i materiali della tradizione e a una cura maniacale per i dettagli, ha segnato la linea di produzione dell'azienda. Con Arredoluce, di cui si ricordano le partecipazioni alle Triennali di Milano dal 1947 al 1960, hanno collaborato importanti designer tra cui Gio Ponti, Ettore Sottsass jr. e Nanda Vigo.
