Art Afterwork, Film Screening & Co - Heidi Horten Museum Opens Experiment Expressionismus

Invitation | Heidi Horten Collection, Vienna

Experiment Expressionism -Schiele Meets Nosferatu

Vienna | April 11 - August 31

Heidi Horten Collection, Viennas leading private art museum, invites you to their new show: Experiment Expressionism.Opening on April 11, Experiment Expressionism - Schiele Meets Nosferatu, is a comprehensive, cross-genre exhibition on Expressionism.Important works from the Heidi Horten Collection act as a starting point of the exhibition that is curated by Agnes Husslein-Arco, Rolf H. Johannsen and Roland Fischer-Briand. In particular works by the Expressionist painters Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde and Max Pechstein, among others. These artists are shown in context with works by Austrian Expressionist painters like Herbert Boeckl, Helene Funke, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Oppenheimer, Egon Schiele, Helene von Taussig and others.

In addition to visual arts, painting and sculpture, the exhibition also focuses on silent film - the new, if not leading medium of the time - which is illustrated in the exhibition with posters, film stills and excerpts from classics such as Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari or Nosferatu – eine Symphonie des Grauens, but also films less familiar to the general public such as Orlac's Hände or Der müde Tod.

During the exhibition, the museum offers an evening program presenting silent films that will be shown for the first time in long version, accompanied by live music.

Alongside this spectacular exhibition, TheArtGorgeous and Heidi Horten Collection have been working on a millennial exhibition guide, that you can find just here.Get ready to dive into the wild, emotional world of Expressionism – the art movement that tore up the rulebook and painted what it feels like to be human. From raw self-portraits to futuristic film stills.To make Expressionism easy to digest (and kind of more fun), we’ve put together a little tongue-in-cheek millennial guide to help you navigate the drama.
