• Expressionism, artistic style in which the artist seeks to
depict not objective reality but rather the subjective
emotions and responses that objects and events arouse
within a person.
• It is an intensely personal art form where the expressionist
artist strives to convey his personal feelings about the
object painted.

THE BEGINNING
They broke away from the
literal representation of nature
in order to express more
subjective outlooks or states of
mind. (1885-1900)

CHARACTERISTICS OF
EXPRESSIONISM ART
• The artist accomplishes this aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism,
and fantasy and through the vivid, jarring, violent, or dynamic application of
formal elements.
• In order to achieve maximum impact on the viewer, representational accuracy
is sacrificed.
• Many of their works express frustration, anxiety, disgust, discontent, violence,
and generally a sort of frenetic intensity of feeling in response to the ugliness,
the crude banality, and the possibilities and contradictions that they discerned
in modern life.
• Compositions tend to be simpler and more direct and are often characterized
by thick dark paints, free brush strokes and occasional symbolism .

THE SCREAM (1893)
artist: Edward Munch
• He depicts the battle between the individual
and society.
• The setting of The Scream was suggested to
the artist while walking along a bridge
overlooking.
• Munch recalls, "the sky turned as red as
blood. I stopped and leaned against the
fence...shivering with fear. Then I heard the
enormous, infinite scream of nature."

Hans Tietze and Erica Tietze-Conrat (1909)
Artist: Oskar Kokoschka
• The colorful background and
concentrated gestures of the
figures represent the couple as
"closed personalities so full of
tension," as the artist once called
them.
• As in many of his portraits,
Kokoschka focuses on the inner
drama of his subjects, here, using
the couple's nervous hands as a
focal point of their anxiety.

Large Blue Horses (1911)
Artist: Franz Marc
• Known for his use of animal
symbolism.
• For the artist, the movement away
from realistic depiction represented a
turn towards the spiritual, the
emotional, and the authentic.
• As with many Expressionists, color
was symbolic rather than descriptive
for Marc. He drew upon the emotive
qualities of his palette to convey his
vision of the spiritual blue beasts.

The style extended to a wide range of the arts,
including expressionist architecture, painting, literature,
theatre, dance, film and music.

EXPRESSIONISM IN ARCHITECTURE
Expressionism was an early 20th-century movement in art and architecture.
It developed between 1910 and 1924 among a group of architects from European countries including Germany, Austria, and Denmark.
It was a time of great turmoil and upheaval in Europe and many of the architects had fought on the battlefields of World War I. Their experiences greatly impacted their work and what they created looked like nothing that had come before it.
The architects who designed Expressionist buildings avoided traditional box shapes and resisted basing their designs on past historical styles. They tended toward abstraction, which means the designs weren't based on objects or structures seen in the real world.
Many prominent architects of the time, included Walter Gropius and Bruno Taut,

The EINSTIEN TOWER, Germany
• 1919 and 1921
• By architect Erich Mendelsohn.
• The building, a solar observatory, is made
of brick covered with cement.
• It's all curving edges and undulating forms
and seems almost to emerge from the
ground below it like some kind of organic or
scientific organism.
• And that's not an accident because it was
made to reflect Einstein's Theory of
Relativity, which changed the way people
thought about time and space.
• The Einstein Tower looks strikingly modern
for a building that's almost one hundred
years old.

Chilehaus
Between 1922 and 1924.
By architect Fritz Hödger.
constructed of reinforced concrete and brick.
The towering structure thrusts violently
skyward and seems to resemble the elongated
bow of a tall ship

THE END OF EXPRESSIONISM AS A
MOVEMENT..
• The decline of Expressionism was hastened by the vagueness of its longing for a better
world.
• By its use of highly poetic language, Expressionism was definitively killed by the
advent of the Nazis to power in 1933.
• They branded the work of almost all Expressionists as degenerate and forbade them to
exhibit or publish and eventually even to work.
• Many Expressionists went into exile in the United States and other countries.
