Art Movements Throughout History
Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century in Germany. Expressionism is characterized by intense emotions and vivid imagery. It is often associated with angst, anxiety, and emotional distress. Expressionist artists sought to express their innermost feelings through their art. They often used bold colors and exaggerated forms to convey their emotions.
One of the most famous Expressionist artists is Edvard Munch. His painting, The Scream, is a classic example of Expressionism. The painting depicts a person screaming in agony, his face contorted in anguish. The use of bold colors, swirling lines, and distorted forms creates a sense of anxiety and unease.
Another famous Expressionist artist is Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky believed that art should be a spiritual experience. He believed that artists should strive to create pure, abstract art that would evoke emotions in the viewer. His paintings often feature bold colors and abstract forms.
Expressionism had a significant influence on the development of modern art. It paved the way for other art movements such as Abstract Expressionism and Neo-Expressionism. Expressionism also had an impact on literature, film, and theater.
