German Art of the 20th Century: Expressionism

The work of Die Brücke and Der Blau Reiter artists

[@stevecarroll8256]

Thank you for your comments. I apologise for my pronunciation. I am not German and I get a lot of pronunciation wrong in French and Dutch too. I am a little surprised that some unpleasant comments (which I have deleted) focussed on my pronunciation and made no comments about whether the content of my talk was correct. Style over content is obviously more important to them.

[@augustrukiel7610]

How would you justify why expressionism is one, if not the best art style in the 20th century? Nice video btw.

[@andrewburnett2302]

Self portrait of the of myself in the style of German Expressionism is complete

[@kooale]

Pronunciation & respect for language is not "style." Only the historians among us can verify the quality & accuracy of the content & detail, but I appreciated the overview & effort it required of you in the piece. Also a big fan of German kunst, thanks

Marvellous video about german expressionism. I am a painter myself, my style is impressionistic, but I greatly admire the expressionistic painters.

[@xelaphilia]

Thank you! I learned a lot.

[@jekalambert9412]

"Dee" Brucke not Die Brucke, thank you. Emil Nolde is one of my favorite artists. After his work was labeled "degenerate" and compensated/ destroyed by the Nazis, he was forbidden to paint under threat of arrest. He went to the North seeking refuge. In his exile home, he hid tempera paints (because they don't smell) under the floorboards in the attic and secretly painted a series of small paintings on rice paper with the intention of reproducing them as larger works when the political climate changed.

[@stevecarroll8256]

The reason I pronounce things wrong is because I read them in books.

Thank you

Muy Bien Mr. Steve Carroll, gracias .

[@massimolozza8069]

Your accent and somewhat removed passion for the subject matter are much appreciated mate 🙏

[@williamgorden6390]

Thank you very much for the video. Like you, I am very attracted to the German Expressionists. I am most familiar with the works of Max Beckman. The nearby city of St. Louis's Art Museum has many large and wonderful paintings of his. I'm not certain but I think he must have taught there, if not, he may have had a wealthy patron who brought the works to St. Louis. Next, I'll watch your other offerings. Thank you again! I learned many things.

[@stevecarroll8256]

Thanks, William.

[@MrIrons-og3rg]

Thank you very much. I have to get my own Art Gallery here in Jamaica

Beautiful quote “the anatomy may be wrong, but the expression is right”

[@samehdewedarworldofart9555]

Expressionism is my favourite art movement 🥰🌹 thanks for this amazing video. Could you please speak about Egon schiele and Oscar kakoushka

[@stevecarroll8256]

Thanks for your comments. I love Kokoschka and Schiele. I will certainly prepare something.

Well done, fine art and solid commentary! I'm leading an art revolution now. Here's what it is about and how it differs from current modern art. Most modern art substitutes weird for quality, narrow isms for scope, and trendy for depth. It also refuses to change or even talk about progressive ideas in art like those that follow Too many treat art as a marketing scheme. Modern art has become a trendy clique and the art now is mostly over promoted footnotes to greater art that was done 100 years ago. But art is too important to be reduced to a trendy clique. Post-ism, is art for a new century, not a continuation of last century trends. 1 Mass Market Paintings like Prints. When any art form is mass marketed it enters a golden age. This has happened with books, records, and film. Let's add paintings. Most art is in storage in museum basements. Mass Marketing allows art to tour in copies and allows artists to make royalties on copies. Why do you think the world gets so excited about a new great book, record, or film; but no one cares about a new great painting? All are mass produced except the painting. 2. End a Century of Isms. Dump the genres and formulas and let all kinds of art be a part of the art world. 3. Shift Emphasis From Trendy to Quality. Shift emphasis from the latest trendy art, to quality art in any style. Just because art is weird does not mean it is great art. 4. Free the Art From Museums and Galleries. Get the art out of the ivory elitist museum and gallery towers and back into the world. Have city art centers open to all artists. Make art that is relevant and communicates with people. Start with the first generation of artists online. 5. Postism is Part of a Bigger Revolution. Postism is part of the bigger art and media revolution out of Dallas, that includes art, music, lit, film, media, and a lot more. 6. Postism online: Online artists are the new wave of art. We had all the isms of last century. Now we have a free for all, of all kinds of artists, that are not sanctioned by any museum or gallery, displaying their work. Out of that comes the next wave and revolution of artists. Last century the goal was to fit the ism. This century the goal is to do great art - no ism, no boundaries. Fractionalized art then, synchronized art now. Even calling something modern art is a type of ism that separates that art from the art of the past. The 20th century was a century of experimentation in art. Now in the 21st we can choose from all those styles and / or start one of our own. Then too if someone devises a way to charge and collect a penny per view on a webpage, that would allow any great artist to get money for their art and have a career without any middlemen. Duchamp broke ground 100 years ago - but now his clones are just shoveling dirt. Weird art is easy, you put a strip of raw bacon across an expensive violin, but it's not good art. Join the art revolution and pull the art world out of last century. Musea since 1992

This presentation was amazing ❤ thank you so much for it! Don’t mind nasty comments about pronounciation, the people commenting at most likely not German themselves. They are just internet trolls.

[@andrewnorris2]

Thanks for this. I can forgive the 'bad pronunciation', as you admitted, since this was a great presentation and I saw many pictures I was not familiar with and learnt a lot. Well researched lecture! (p.s. 'dee' Brucke and 'dare' Blau Reiter, if that helps.) Thanks again.

[@kooale]

"I can forgive the 'bad pronunciation....' I can't! So simple to prevent! Thanks for the corrections!

[@emmanuelpower2439]

Never mind about pronounciati9n. You communicate your passion clearly... a passion which i share, and in particular for the art and life of Emil Nolde.

[@bloomsums]

Is there expressionism still being created today from german artists. Enjoyed this video. TY.

[@christophermorgan3261]

Check out the New Leipzig School painters like Neo Rauch many others. Lived there 4 years, their art school is considered one of the best in Germany.

[@Hyperactivman2]

dit ist Kunst? oder kann dit weg?

[@user-ht4dj3wi2j]

Very interesting, thank you, Steve. I must pick you up on one point, though. You say Max Pechstein was Jewish - he wasn't. In fact he was "denounced" as a Jew to the Nazis by Emil Nolde and forced to prove his Aryan descent. Unpalatable in so many ways but there you go.

[@AlexDogwalker1234]

Pronounced "thee", not "dye".

[@erlingandersen8008]

dee

[@superbere]

He did a 25 minute fantastic presentation made with passion and extensive knowledge, and this was your only comment? I think you should take a long look at yourself and how you reflect your imagine in your online presence. There is no need for this negativity.

[@AlexDogwalker1234]

@@superbere It was my only comment because it was the only thing he did wrong in an otherwise fantastic presentation, BERENICE, who's being negative now? (BTW mispronouncing "die" in a video about the Germans is kind of a very, very dumb fib).

[@spellman007]

“The Nazis thought they were degenerates, anyways here are their paintings of prostitutes & naked 14 year old girls..” lol modern artists never beating the allegations. Great video.
