This is a complete presentation about Expressionist Art History which had its onset in Germany. This includes the countries surrounding Germany which also had artists involved in the movement, such as Munch in Norway, Schiele in Austria, Kandinsky as a German resident alien from Russia, etc.,

This art is intense, personal, colorful, beautiful and ugly. The ugly part isn’t a mistake. It is that the art is done right in front of a major disaster, which will be the rise of the Nazis culminating in WWII. The Expressionist artists ended up fleeing Europe with many of them ending up in America. But while they were in Europe, they captured everything going on and there is a bit of everything. There are glamorous people in the clubs and cafes and out on the streets. Yet there is a socio-economic dark cloud hovering over everyone after the terrible treaty provisions ending WWI. Schiele doesn’t even survive WWI as he’s felled by the Spanish flu pandemic. These events bring colors never seen before. The colors that these artists used in portraits, for example, made the Fauvists look restrained. Learn more by going to the Preview where you can view actual slides.
