Expressionism

The Expressionists

What do we mean by Expressionism?

Expressionism is when a person or a group of people portray their

feelings and emotions over a particular matter in such a way that

their message is delivered across. Whether this is in the form of

singing/dancing, art, acting, debating or by physical methods. We say

that they are expressing their feelings. When they are expressing

their feelings, you can clearly see the look on one’s face which can

explain the way they are feeling and what they are expressing. We call

this an expression. One expresses themselves for many different

purposes, expression holds the key to discovering what type of feeling

or state that one is experiencing.

What do we mean by expressionism in art?

Expressionism is one the many styles of art in which the intention of

the artist is not to produce a work-of-art that is very accurate,

realistic, and basic; but to depict his/hers inner- emotions by

creating an image (or various images) in a powerful way. The image

itself is influenced by the feelings of him/her self, and these are

what inspires them to do so. The subject and theme of an artist who

produces many pieces may contain only slight changes in expression, as

they all might have been made over a period of time when the artist

felt the same way. However the theme and expression may differ largely

if they are produced when the artist is experiencing different wild

emotions.
