Expressionism in 8 Minutes: The Most Disturbing Art Ever? 😱

Kandinsky is my favorite because of his opening of the musical connection by visually expressing the invisible.

For being as short as it is, this video packs in a lot digestible information and context! Good stuff!

[@garypeterson1342]

The invention of and broader use of the camera by this time period played a huge influence on these artists who found that exploring topics and images that could not be captured on film to be a force to investigate.

[@shadowplay5363]

Macke's painting's were so beautiful. His use of colour was exquisite, and I dig the Cezanne influence. There's a calmness and harmony which are bit alien to expressionism, but I love it.

Paul Klee is my favorite... his paintings vibrate with energy, curiosity and a sometimes sinister yet childlike wonder. This was an excellent presentation and I really learned new things! Thank you!

Klee is one of my favorites, too. I really like the smartness and often sweetness of the palettes he uses!

August Macke is my favorite. I have been studying art on my own for years, but only recently have explored Expressionism. I find it very interesting, now one of my favorite movements. Your video and others have helped me to appreciate it.

[@honeypeach5749]

Schiele and matisse are two of my favorites. And I find that quite a lot of expressionist works aren't disturbing in the least. Rather, many of them capture humanity at it's most raw, vulnerable, and beautiful. But I also find beauty in many of the more disturbing works as well. Expressionism has been a great influence on my own art

[@barrymoore4470]

Matisse isn't typically discussed as an Expressionist artist. Expressionism is usually regarded as a development within the Germanophone lands (though with non-German artists making vital contributions, such as Kandinsky). Matisse was a leading Fauve painter, the Fauves staking a position of irreverent boldness within French culture that was analogous to what the Expressionists were doing in Germany and Austria.

[@DanielEvans-gt1fk]

I do appreciate all the information given.

[@p1n3mont]

If you try to pursue an interest in Mexican Modernism you're drowned in a sea of Frida Kahlo, Tres Grandes, Tamayo, etc. I'd like to see a segment that yes, must include them but goes wider to discuss other worthy Mexican Modernism artists. There was so much great work going on there from roughly 1925-1970. Thanks.

Nice work! Really Informative. Also, Vincent Van Gogh was a pioneer of this art period right?

[@CuriousMuse]

Riiiiight!

[@athenaartfoundation]

Absolutely! It's really interesting to think about how Van Gogh can be seen as both impressionist and expressionist. He is often considered a pioneer of expressionism because of his interest in using painting to explore his inner emotions, feelings and mood, but during his own time, he would probably have seen himself as belonging more to the impressionist style.

[@doylesaylor]

The central conceit of expressionism is ‘feeling’. However, this ignores visual expression doesn’t carry feeling information well. One can see images that arouse feelings, but that is highly variable result. Secondarily cultures try to regulate content to wall off kinds of feelings arousal. This project of protecting against kinds of feelings seems to me anti-scientific, or conventional parlance unrealistic.

[@paonesth]

I had thought expressionism was also for artists who expressed beautiful memories, fleeting moments or dreams as well not just the disturbing 😳 ones. Maybe that just stays in impressionism.

[@CuriousMuse]

Yeah, these movements can be confusing! Expressionism is the style where artists tried to convey emotion and meaning rather than reality. Each artist had their own unique way of "expressing" their emotions in their art. In order to express emotion, the subjects are often distorted or exaggerated.

[@VlinderLloyd]

I would also assume that this heavy connotation of the disturbing within expressionism lies in the fact that the movement emerged during a time of many, rapid changes. New ideas (philosophical, psychological, nature...), methods, technologies... Not only was the first World War around the corner, but industrialization caused a feeling of dehumanization. It was thus an outlet. But Expressionism has influenced the idea of art in such a way that there are now many many forms to be found in contemporary art, thereby also beautiful, dreamlike experiences :)

Thank you for the video. It would be interesting to look at artists like Ludwig Gies and Arno Breker, Josef Thorak, and others who accommodated their aesthetics in the service of the Third Reich. Gies is particularly interesting because his expressionistic sculpture of the Crucifixion was used by Goebbels to introduce audiences to Goebbels' Degenerate Art exhibition in Germany in 1937-38.

World War I might have been a critical blow to some fans of Der Blaue Reiter. The war's the reason Franz Marc had to stop working on his horse theme paintings. Otherwise , Newkie and me could have been artistically smarter and aesthetically more abstract..😆 I seriously feel sorry for two of us..🤨 And other Der Blaue Reiter fans could also by now soak up more abstract forms of paintings.😶
