WHAT WAS EXPRESSIONISM?
¢ An artistic and modernist movement. ¢ Originating in Germany at the beginning of the
20th century. ¢ The Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter groups. ¢ The artist attempts to depict not objective reality
but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in him.
¢ The artist accomplishes his aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and fantasy and through the vivid, jarring, violent, or dynamic application of formal elements.

KANDINSKY AND EXPRESSIONISM
¢ Kandinsky believed that with simple colours and shapes the spectator could perceive the moods and feelings in the paintings, a theory that encouraged him towards increased abstraction.
