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!

If you try to pursue an interest in Mexican Modernism you're drowned in a sea of Frida Kahlo, Tres Grandes, Tamayo, etc. I'd like to see a segment that yes, must include them but goes wider to discuss other worthy Mexican Modernism artists. There was so much great work going on there from roughly 1925-1970. Thanks.

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

Absolutely! It's really interesting to think about how Van Gogh can be seen as both impressionist and expressionist. He is often considered a pioneer of expressionism because of his interest in using painting to explore his inner emotions, feelings and mood, but during his own time, he would probably have seen himself as belonging more to the impressionist style.

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.

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 Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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 :)

World War I might have been a critical blow to some fans of Der Blaue Reiter. The war's the reason Franz Marc had to stop working on his horse theme paintings. Otherwise , Newkie and me could have been artistically smarter and aesthetically more abstract..😆 I seriously feel sorry for two of us..🤨 And other Der Blaue Reiter fans could also by now soak up more abstract forms of paintings.😶
