Allemagne, l’Art et la Nation
( De l'Allemagne, 1800-1939 )

Jean-Baptiste Péretié
2013 - 52 min - HD - Couleur - France

From Romanticism to Expressionism, Dadaism to "Degenerate Art," this film takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of Germany, from the birth of an empire to two world wars. It features unreleased archival photographs and video, analyses of paintings and clarifications from various experts.
But it is the works themselves—by such masters as Caspar David Friedrich, Friedrich Schinkel Arnold Böcklin, Emil Nolde, Otto Dix, Hannah Höch, George Grosz and Gerhard Richter—that convey the hopes and torments of the German nation, which are inseparable from those of the European continent: between dreams of unification and protests against the national straitjacket.
