Expressionism

Its said that expressionism started to take off after world war 1 with many German, Austrian, French and Russian artists becoming prominent after producing work based on their experience and response to the war. However many people in Europe delved into this art movement during the 19th century due to the rapid industrialisation as people were unhappy and struggling and wanted a way to express that emotion.

Expressionism is said to be a art movement which generated in Europe in around the 20th century and it initially took the form of poetry. Expressionism aims to create an emotional response to objects or events. Artists will often achieve this through distorting their work; using strong vivid colours and having exaggerated lines. A great example of this would be Edvard Munch’s painting ‘the scream’. Expressionism tends to be a lot more individual and personal this could be because expressionism is about expressing your emotions into this new form.
