Expressionism was an international movement of the early 20th century and it was present not only in art but in architecture, theatre, cinema, dance, and literature too! The roots of the expressionist aesthetic can be found in post-impressionist and symbolist artworks, but also in proto-expressionist works like Edvard Munch’s Scream! So let’s dive into the most expressive period in art history together!

Macke's painting's were so beautiful. His use of colour was exquisite, and I dig the Cezanne influence. There's a calmness and harmony which are bit alien to expressionism, but I love it.

@honeypeach5749 Год назад

Schiele and matisse are two of my favorites. And I find that quite a lot of expressionist works aren't disturbing in the least. Rather, many of them capture humanity at it's most raw, vulnerable, and beautiful. But I also find beauty in many of the more disturbing works as well. Expressionism has been a great influence on my own art

@barrymoore4470 Год назад

Matisse isn't typically discussed as an Expressionist artist. Expressionism is usually regarded as a development within the Germanophone lands (though with non-German artists making vital contributions, such as Kandinsky). Matisse was a leading Fauve painter, the Fauves staking a position of irreverent boldness within French culture that was analogous to what the Expressionists were doing in Germany and Austria.

@garypeterson1342 2 года назад

The invention of and broader use of the camera by this time period played a huge influence on these artists who found that exploring topics and images that could not be captured on film to be a force to investigate.

Thank you for the video. It would be interesting to look at artists like Ludwig Gies and Arno Breker, Josef Thorak, and others who accommodated their aesthetics in the service of the Third Reich. Gies is particularly interesting because his expressionistic sculpture of the Crucifixion was used by Goebbels to introduce audiences to Goebbels' Degenerate Art exhibition in Germany in 1937-38.

@doylesaylor 2 года назад

The central conceit of expressionism is ‘feeling’. However, this ignores visual expression doesn’t carry feeling information well. One can see images that arouse feelings, but that is highly variable result. Secondarily cultures try to regulate content to wall off kinds of feelings arousal. This project of protecting against kinds of feelings seems to me anti-scientific, or conventional parlance unrealistic.

@paonesth Год назад

I had thought expressionism was also for artists who expressed beautiful memories, fleeting moments or dreams as well not just the disturbing 😳 ones. Maybe that just stays in impressionism.

@CuriousMuse Год назад

Yeah, these movements can be confusing! Expressionism is the style where artists tried to convey emotion and meaning rather than reality. Each artist had their own unique way of "expressing" their emotions in their art. In order to express emotion, the subjects are often distorted or exaggerated.

@VlinderLloyd Год назад

I would also assume that this heavy connotation of the disturbing within expressionism lies in the fact that the movement emerged during a time of many, rapid changes. New ideas (philosophical, psychological, nature...), methods, technologies... Not only was the first World War around the corner, but industrialization caused a feeling of dehumanization. It was thus an outlet. But Expressionism has influenced the idea of art in such a way that there are now many many forms to be found in contemporary art, thereby also beautiful, dreamlike experiences :)
