Origins and History
Originating in Germany after World War I, Expressionism was a movement that sought to convey intense emotions through art. The term "Expressionism" was first used in 1911 to describe the work of German artists who were rejecting the traditional styles of the time. The movement spread to other parts of Europe and North America, with various countries developing their own unique styles and interpretations. Important dates in the history of Expressionism include the early 1900s when artists like Edvard Munch and Vincent van Gogh were exploring the use of color and brushwork to convey emotion, and the 1920s when German Expressionists like Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Emil Nolde were at the forefront of the movement. Despite its popularity, Expressionism faced criticism for its often dark and disturbing subject matter.

Notable original contemporary Expressionism artworks
One of the most famous contemporary Expressionism artworks is "The Scream" by Edvard Munch, created in 1893. This painting depicts a figure with a distorted face and hands covering their ears, conveying a sense of horror and despair. Munch’s use of bold colors and swirling brushstrokes adds to the overall feeling of anxiety and turbulence.
Another notable Expressionism artwork is "Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh, painted in 1889. This piece features a small town with a towering church steeple surrounded by a swirling night sky filled with stars. Van Gogh’s use of bright colors and thick brushstrokes creates a dreamlike atmosphere that captures the viewer’s imagination.
"The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali, painted in 1931, is another iconic Expressionism artwork. This surrealist painting depicts melting clocks draped over various objects against a barren landscape. Dali’s use of bizarre and jarring imagery creates a sense of the uncanny, challenging the viewer’s perceptions of reality.
Finally, "Les Demoiselles d’Avignon" by Pablo Picasso, painted in 1907, is a groundbreaking Expressionism artwork. This piece features five nude women with angular, distorted faces and bodies. Picasso’s use of cubism and distorted shapes shattered traditional notions of beauty and representation, paving the way for a new era of modern art.
