Information About The Expressionist Art Movement

The Expressionist art movement was conceived in opposition to Impressionism. The Expressionist painters required emotional drama, pure color and innovation. Rouault one of the most famous avant-garde, French Expressionist Painters observed, "For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh. "

They disdained dreamy landscapes, water lilies and Japanese bridges. Controversial Austrian Expressionist Painter, Egon Schiele asserted, "I don't know who is able to understand why I visit those places where my father used to be and where I can feel the pain."

Expressionist painters looked inward at their own emotions, and less upon the outside world for inspiration. Painters of the Expressionist generation grew up on the battlefield, witnessing wartime atrocities and returning to war ravaged countries.

The German Expressionists, George Grosz,
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde and Oskar Kokoschka dominated the art scene with powerful, emotional work based on the human struggle and futility of war. Their art-work was born in a world of confusion and social collapse. Emil Nolde declared "The art of an artist must be his own art. It is... always a continuous chain of little inventions, little technical discoveries of one's own, in one's relation to the tool, the material and the colors.""
