L'Apprenti sorcier

In 1933 Jean Weidt played L’apprenti sorcier, the slave of an authoritarian, violent master, who tried to give his broom life to improve his backbreaking working conditions. At the end of the Republic of Weimar, Germany witnessed artistic protest movements springing up. Artists oppressed by the regime of the Third Reich had no other choice than exile to claim their desire for a better life through expressionism.
