METROPOLIS Collage

METROPOLIS "Metropolis", is Fritz Lang's 1927 silent film, portraying a city in the future. Filmed in Germany it was a cautionary mix of the dysfunctional Weimar Republic and the rise of Fascism taking place in the streets of that country, along with a swirl of Biblical imagery. The design of the city was influenced by Art Deco, the skyline of New York, and the Bauhaus movement in Lang’s native Germany, with a little Gothic thrown in for good measure. Initially it was not well received and can be found in a wide variety of lengths, cut to try and make it more palatable to the viewing public. Later on, it was recognized as the forward thinking and audacious film it is. As one of the first SciFi movies its' imprint in both tone and in the visual feel of the future, can be seen in films such as "Blade Runner", and "The Fifth Element”. Surreallascapes: Each Collage is made up of at least 40 different pictures arranged in a landscape where the physical world is real, but the essence is of an alternate dimension. Or a Jigsaw puzzle where the pieces are made to fit together in a dreamlike manner. This will be offered as a signed and numbered print, limited to an edition of 25. There are only 17" X 25" prints with a one-inch border available.
