BBL Episode 4: German Expressionism

[@PoseidonXIII]

I never thought of expressionism as being the first movement to paint paintings! That's an amazing view, and it has changed my conception of art history. Thanks so much!

Great point. All the major modern European movements starting w/the Futurists did that. To make a crude comparison, it's kind of like what Muslims say about Islam: the idea of each of these major movements was to develop a whole system of aesthetics, political and cultural agendas that was systemically complete and could attempt, at some level, to "revolutionize" a given culture, in a modernist manner. This and Futurism (despite its unfortunate fascist associations) are my fave modern movements.

Socialist Realism vs. Constructivism, ya I know the basic history. I know little about constructivism outside Russia or after Lenin's death. Tatlin, Malevich and some of the others are among my modernist European art "heroes" so to speak, though I guess in the case of Russian constructivism it's because of the political agenda as much as the aesthetic appeal of the work. Russian futurism and the early 20th century avant garde (esp Cubofuturism) is fascinating and beautiful as well.

@PhotonDrive Hi! Excuse me, but I'm very interested in what you had to say though I don't know much about art history. I'm about to begin studying German at University so I've been reading a lot of expressionist plays and my godfather is descended from a German expressionist painter, on top of which expressionist artworks have always appealed to me. If you wouldn't mind, could you possibly give me a short introduction to German expressionism? Comments are very limiting, so you could PM me?

Hey, give the woman some props. It's Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Not exactly a cultural mecca. Yeah, New York, Paris, Milan............ and Milwaukee! hee-hee-hee. What else would you expect besides art lectures with that regional "dontcha know?" accent? Hilarious.
