The Funeral
George Grosz

Key Frame
George Grosz was a german expressionist painter which I feel has a lot of
scope for interesting sounds being about irrepression and surreality. The
painting features a never ending funeral procession, in honour of the death of
German psychiatrist and avant-garde writer Oskar Panizza. Panizza was
famous for his play Liebeskonzil, which depicted the rst outbreak of syphilis
with a controversial portrayal of God leading the play to be deemed
blasphemous. Panizza was sent to jail for his work- once released he lived out
the rest of his life in exile. The painting follows his idea of humanity beyond
repair, depicting a futuristic hellscape. the crowd is drunken and animalistic
with the grim reaper riding on the cofn drinking from a bottle. Grosz said of
the painting-

"In a strange street by night, a hellish procession of dehumanised gures mills,
their faces reecting alcohol, syphilis, plague ... I painted this protest against a
humanity that had gone insane."

Sonic Concept
Because of the style of the painting I wanted my soundscape to have a
jazzy vibe to underpin the sinister Artaudian elements. I want the
soundscape to look through different elements of the scene pictured,
with hectic exaggerated Artaudian sounds. We will look into the caf,
the club, and at many different characters. I want the animatic to
gradually descend into silence as if inside the cofn of Panizza, who
will be sighing at the state of Society
