If any anime pics are suggested I will BREAK SOME PENCILS.

The most iconic expressionist painting, perhaps?

Works for me.

I'm gonna put this up on the site just for you. :)

I'm just kidding... But seriously though, the Scream picture is a wonderful example for the trope and has my vote.

I'm pretty sure The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari is the Ur-Example of this.

The Scream. I doubt it would see much opposition.

We could use another Caligari pic, then.

It is the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear "German Expressionism">

Well yeah, to be fair, The Scream isn't German, although one may argue it doesn't have to.

Yeah, the fact that The Scream is Norwegian kind of ruins it for me.

Maybe a still from Metropolis or another Expressionist film?

I love Metropolis, but I think Dr. Caligari had a more distinctive atmosphere.

On Metropolis though, maybe Maria's odd dancing could work.

Searched Metropolis, found this one that I liked.

You can either follow the convoluted instructions in the stickied thread over in TRS or holler at a mod.

For the record, I'm not actually suggesting the Trigun pic. I just put that up there to mess with melloncollie.

I'll make the crowner, hold up; I just gotta strum together all the good images from this thread.

Crowner's up, filled, and ready. Mod just needs to tag it.
