Description
Exploring the early 20th century art movement that prioritised emotion over objective reality, Expressionism is a comprehensive introduction to this influential shift in art history.
The movement, which flourished internationally and was particularly prominent in Germany and Austria, rejected Impressionism's focus on surface-level representation. Instead, Expressionists sought to capture the raw, visceral experience of life through intense colour palettes, loose brushwork, and thick textures.
This book delves into the stylistic tendencies, influences, and key protagonists of the Expressionist movement, revealing a panorama of moods, ideas, and emotions that continue to shape art today.
