Expressionism 30 yrs of it in this painting.
History and the dictionary will tell you Expressionism
started in the early 20th century, most notably in poetry and
painting. I don’t buy it. The playwrights of ancient Greece or the
middle ages with their satire towards the government may have something to say
about that.
With expressionism we present the world from our unique, subjective
perspective often distorting it to evoke emotions or ideas from our
audience. For an artist, musician or
writer this is a good thing and should not be tempered. With expressionism we unmask our fears,
loves, hatreds and just about any other emotion we may have about the subject
of our work.
Too often, especially in visual arts I hear an artist say I hope the audience understood the message I wanted to convey. If you have to ask that question then you haven't put all your emotions into your work.
Rule #4 Expressionism, express yourself, get in touch with your inner feelings and don’t be afraid to put them into your work.
