What is Expressionism? Art Movements & Styles

The term Expressionism became commonly used in Germany around 1910. Developed from the work of Symbolist artists, expressionist art movements across Germany and Austria emerged; including Die Brucke in Dresden and Der Blaue Reiter in Munich. Artists associated with these groups placed the expression of feelings over all else in their work through the bold use of colour, exaggeration of form and emphasis of the spiritual over the earthly. This short film tracks the story of Expressionism in art, from its beginnings in the early twentieth century, through to its influence on artists today.

Great overview of Expressionism with historical depth I was not aware of. Thank you.

This is awesome. A lot of art history videos are so boring. This is the beautiful middle ground between most videos which are long, boring, and overwhelming or too short with no real information. Well done! Do more!

i have a question about complementary/split complementary and triad compementary colors, not to sound stupid, but is it important that the color complements eachothers (exact) hues or tones or tints? as in, if i were to use a light tint of green, the complementary color is red, does red have to be the same or close to the same tint of red as my green?
