EXPRESSIONISM

   Expressionism is an artistic style in which the artist attemps to depict not objective reality but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse him. He accomplishes his aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and fantasy and through the vivid, jarring, violent or dynamic application of formal elements. In a broader sense expressionism is one of the main currents of art in the later 19th and the 20th centuries, and its qualities of highly subjective, personal, spontaneous self-expressionism are typical of a wide range of modern artists and art movements.
   A term "expressionism" is used to denote the use of distortion and exaggeration for emotional effect, which first surfaced in the art literature of the early 20th century. When applied in a stylistic sense, with reference in particular to the use of intense color, agitated brushstrokes, and disjointed space. Rather than a single style, it was a climate that affected not only the fine arts, but also dance, cinema, literature and the theatre.

THE SCREAM by EDVARD MUNCH
   Unlike imressionism, it goals were not to reproduce the impression suggested by the surrounding world, but to strongly impose the artist's own sensibility to the world's representation. The expressionist artist substitues to the visual object reality his own image of this object, which he feelsas an accurate representation of its real meaning.
   Expressionism assessed itself mostly in Germany, in 1910. As an international movement, expressionism has also been thought of as inheriting from certain medieval artforms and more directly Cézanne, Gaugin, Vangogh and the fauvism movement.
   The most well-known expressionist are Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Lionel Feininger, George Grosz, Ernst Ludvig Kirchner, the Austrian Oskar Kokoschka, the Czech Alfred Kubin, and the Norvegian Edvard Munch, and also Russian Kandinsky was an expressionism addict.

Plagued with inner demons that tormented him through much of his career, Munch effectively used his paintings to give voice to his neuroses.
