- Expressionism was an international movement of the early 20th century and it was present not only in art but in architecture, theatre, cinema, dance, and literature too! The roots of the expressionist aesthetic can be found in post-impressionist and symbolist artworks, but also in proto-expressionist works like Edvard Munch’s Scream! So let’s dive into the most expressive period in art history together!

I love learning art history from you guys!
So glad to hear it! 💪🏻
@@CuriousMuse I know what "The Scream" is.
Kandinsky is my favorite because of his opening of the musical connection by visually expressing the invisible.
If you try to pursue an interest in Mexican Modernism you're drowned in a sea of Frida Kahlo, Tres Grandes, Tamayo, etc. I'd like to see a segment that yes, must include them but goes wider to discuss other worthy Mexican Modernism artists. There was so much great work going on there from roughly 1925-1970. Thanks.
Dont like the german expresionist but the mexican with I do like it
Very good point!
I don't know if you heard of him already, but I think you'd might like Mario Lopez Cano.
@@DavidRamirez-se2yt (my first attempt to respond, David, was deleted because I linked you to one of my two Canos on Flickr) But yes, your mentioning him is amazing. I own two Canos!
For being as short as it is, this video packs in a lot digestible information and context! Good stuff!
Paul Klee is my favorite... his paintings vibrate with energy,
curiosity and a sometimes sinister yet childlike wonder.
This was an excellent presentation and I really learned new things!
Thank you!
😍👍🏻
Klee is one of my favorites, too. I really like the smartness and often sweetness of the palettes he uses!
Macke's painting's were so beautiful. His use of colour was exquisite, and I dig the Cezanne influence. There's a calmness and harmony which are bit alien to expressionism, but I love it.
😍
This channel is very underrated, I hope it will take off soon. Keep up the great work, guys!
Lovely feedback, we hope too! 🙏🏻
I'm waiting✋ and also could you perhaps do *abstract* expressionism next? That would be great!
Sounds good! 👍🏻
I have a Modern Art exam tomorrow and this was a great refresher! Thank you!!!
Wonderful! Fingers crossed and let us know how you did on the exam! 🙏🏻
The invention of and broader use of the camera by this time period played a huge influence on these artists who found that exploring topics and images that could not be captured on film to be a force to investigate.
Schiele and matisse are two of my favorites. And I find that quite a lot of expressionist works aren't disturbing in the least. Rather, many of them capture humanity at it's most raw, vulnerable, and beautiful. But I also find beauty in many of the more disturbing works as well. Expressionism has been a great influence on my own art
Matisse isn't typically discussed as an Expressionist artist. Expressionism is usually regarded as a development within the Germanophone lands (though with non-German artists making vital contributions, such as Kandinsky). Matisse was a leading Fauve painter, the Fauves staking a position of irreverent boldness within French culture that was analogous to what the Expressionists were doing in Germany and Austria.
I really appreciate these videos! I'm going to university in September for Fine Art and they are making me less worried as I feel I will understand what others are talking about (as well as my own art) better! :)
Woohoo, good luck with your studies in Sept!
Hope it's going well! Talking about art often takes a lot of patience and practice, but it is so rewarding, too. Hopefully your fellow students are good to have conversations with :)
be scared, this title proves, as my comment above indicates, that this title is absolutley ridiculous -wait, you've already complete your first of REAL art history, and now you know for yourself that this attiude is darn near as pathetic as a " degenerate art " shtick!
Hello, I am an Art History student and a new subscriber. I love learning from your videos. Great channel! 👍👍
Awesome! Thank you!
So happy you make this content!! ✨
❤️
Excellent. I’ve loved Kandinsky and Klee and you offer a conte t for them🌸💐
It's interesting that the Curious Muse explains art in a fun way.
Oh hi, cMUSE! 👋🏻 looks like we’re both helping to spread arts and culture
Just found this channel.. obsessed. Exactly what I needed, but I didn’t know how to look for it!
Welcome! 🥳 glad to hear you like our content 😍
I had never heard of any of The Bridge group! Thank you for this.
Kathe Kollwitz is among my favorite German expressionists. This video was wonderful. Thank you.
Glad you liked it 😍
Käthe*s works are amazing, she should be more famous!
The unreality of everyday life sometimes surpasses the irrationality of the imagination many times over in its suralty...
New subscriber here. What a great channel, I really appreciate the way you explain everything in simple, clear ways 👍
😍👍🏻
Such great videos!
i love egon schiele! he died much to young. his work inspires me over and over again.
seated male nude is my fav drawing of a human. amazing creativity and imagination, he did amazing hands too.
Excellent video! Thanks!
your videos are very insightful
So glad to hear it! 🙏🏻
Thank you for your efforts :)
Very well explained 🍁
What a great introduction to this topic. Thank you.
Thank you 😊
i think that another grand influence(d) could be friedensreich hundertwasser (1928-2000), his perception of the curve, color and shapes where not only portrayed in his -very fovist- paintings and drawings but also in his architectonical signature designs and philosophy. truly loving this channel's approaches! x
😍🙏🏻
Thank you! very well done.
🥰
Informative, I thought till now something else about expressionism
Love this video and I could learn more about art. Thanks You
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻
Love the color use..pink sidewalks and wild hats
ernst ludwig kirchner is amazing!!!!! and so underrated
Another great video! Could you do a video on neoplatonism? 🙌
Great suggestion! Thank you for helping us with the content roadmap ❤️
good teaching lesson 💓💓
Great videos! Can you make one on new objectivity please?
Thank you so much for watching! Great suggestion - we'll explore with the team how to make it work!
I have an assignment to design a furniture based on expressionism. This was helpful! Please help me with some ideas regarding the furniture design- I’m thinking of a vibrant asymmetrical seating and backrest and sleek metal legs and armrest.
My all time favorite expressionist is the Dutch painter Harry van Gestel.
Expresionismo alemán ♥ cúspide del ingenio artístico del hombre (en mi opinión)
great video
Thank you for excellent video! I like art Munh and Schiele
😍🙏🏻
Melancholia - Lars von Trier
Thanks!
Thank you ☺️🙏🏻
Franz Marc is not just my favourit expressionist but my favourit painter altogether. I have several different reproductions on my walls. He has such talent and captures the elegant movement of a cat or a deer with just a few elegant stribes of paint. I adore him (and I not particularly knowledgeable about art a such).
His blue horses are absolutely wonderful!
@@athenaartfoundation I absolutely aggree
Nice work! Really Informative. Also, Vincent Van Gogh was a pioneer of this art period right?
Riiiiight!
Absolutely! It's really interesting to think about how Van Gogh can be seen as both impressionist and expressionist. He is often considered a pioneer of expressionism because of his interest in using painting to explore his inner emotions, feelings and mood, but during his own time, he would probably have seen himself as belonging more to the impressionist style.
Great video! What's the name of the film shown in the beginning?
Oh, this video was made so long ago!
Большое спасибо! Очень интересно !
Спасибо за просмотр этого видео! 😍🙏🏻
Watched many. Very good shows. On more good subjects, how about impressionism and tonal-ism?
Thank you! We have Impressionism (and post-Impressionism) on our channel but not tonalism. Hopefully, we make this story soon!
I love expressionism. Most all of it. Especially Edvard Munch, Van Gogh, Klee, Kandinsky.
Great names!
how interesting ! since. kid i loved painting drowing and always and still i am keen my first approach to oil was about at 19 yo a dalinian style surrealist on paper copied. the same on canvans both still in my possession made a De Chirico and a modigliani .. this last unfortunately given away
read a lot about impressionism i love kandinsky Schiele and klimt and others but always has been looking for “ being me ” stretched between differents types of art painting styles, after listening to this film here i understood why i always have been so hesitating
i am too square too much stable on my basement to have that hint of madness egocentrism that an artist might / must have
thanks
Verily good content
Waiting ✋
🥰
@@CuriousMuse from which country this channel' person belongs? 🤩
Very interesting
alssoooo waiting
😚🙏🏻
I adore these videos.
😍🙏🏻
Kandinsky is my favourite one, no doubt.
Please show something about Representation art.
Francis Bacon was my fave.
Who made this painting (1:22) and what's the name of it? She looks like a curious muse ;-)
Interesting :). This work is titled 'Portrait of the Dancer' by Aleksandr Sakharov.
Can you do a video about Subcultures like Rockers, Mods, Bikers, etc?
Thanks for the idea! We’ll discuss with the team to see how to make it work 💪🏻
@@CuriousMuse Thanks for the answer! Would be really great! Your videos are really cool and full of information
Absolutely, and THANK YOU! 😊
I want to learn about Op artist
You forgot to mention Gabriel Munter. She made great paintings also.
IT WAS Nice TO know about it
👍🏻
I always liked Kandinsky :-)
What song is it playing at 5:14?
Thank you for the video. It would be interesting to look at artists like Ludwig Gies and Arno Breker, Josef Thorak, and others who accommodated their aesthetics in the service of the Third Reich. Gies is particularly interesting because his expressionistic sculpture of the Crucifixion was used by Goebbels to introduce audiences to Goebbels' Degenerate Art exhibition in Germany in 1937-38.
What is the painting at 1:23 and who is the artist? Thanks so much
Got it! Portrait of Alexander Sakharoff by Jawlensky :)
It would be amazing if you could make an educational video about art brut
Thanks for the suggestion! 💪🏻 We’ll see how to make it work.
I wish I could also enjoy the Neo Expressionist art works such as Sandro Chia's humorous and
beautiful in colour and those street art pieces done by the graffiti artists such as Jean-Michel Basquia and Keith Haring on
your channel soon. 😉
Thanks .. 😊
Hopefully we’ll have these stories soon! 👍🏻 Have your been watching us already for some time or just joined?
@@CuriousMuse I have just joined you for today's dose , about a minute ago, maybe . What is it?
Welcome 🙏🏻 - we have lots of stories so hope you’ll enjoy them!
@@CuriousMuse 😁🙃
The background music is so uncanny
Hands down Kandinsky 💕
what is the painting at 1:24
I like them all including Gabriel Munter. 😮
So great
My favourite artists is krishner 🌝
😍👍🏻
miriam beerman is a favorite
😍👍🏻
This video is great , too
Munch's Scream is one of
the proto- expressionist art works..
I see..
Green and orange faces..
My face is yellowish green .. Can it be called an expressionist art work, too?🤔
😊
Expressionist art in my point of view is more colourful, don't have to be portrait perfect, and encompassed the behaviors and more than that, like slight exaggeration to express something.
How can we distinguish between fauvism and expressionism?
We have both videos on our channel, have you watched them? You’ll then for sure have an answer! 👍🏻
where's this image from? 0:31
oh, we made this video a while ago... so hard to remember!
Can't pick a favorite.
❤️
😚🙏🏻
I'm okay with expressionism, although I think it is far removed from my own artistic practice. Of the two strands of expressionism I prefer the Blue Rider stuff.
The central conceit of expressionism is ‘feeling’. However, this ignores visual expression doesn’t carry feeling information well. One can see images that arouse feelings, but that is highly variable result. Secondarily cultures try to regulate content to wall off kinds of feelings arousal. This project of protecting against kinds of feelings seems to me anti-scientific, or conventional parlance unrealistic.
Pechstein and Otto Müller were great,too. But there are much more.
I would find expressionisim disturbing, only if human beings were... , but since they arent , we yet need more that kind of.. reflecting painting.
I like ARCHIL GORKY, ADRIAN GHENIE. EXPRESSIONIST ARTISTS.
Great names 👍🏻
@@CuriousMuse Thank YOU. I am also abstract expressionist oil painter, and I supported Your video. 🇦🇲🇺🇸
World War I might have been a critical blow to some fans of Der Blaue Reiter. The war's the reason Franz Marc had to stop working on his horse theme paintings. Otherwise , Newkie and me could have been artistically smarter and aesthetically more abstract..😆
I seriously feel sorry for two of us..🤨
And other Der Blaue Reiter fans could also by now soak up more abstract forms of paintings.😶
Love to enjoy ..,.
Salutation from india...
❤️🇮🇳
Wait but how was Metropolis expressionist?
This video helped me know art
No you are just so smart you don’t need help
i know right
@@zanderbailey5465 iph
I was compared to Kirchner ... That was very flattering
Very nice! 💪🏻
it is my favourite art current lol
😍👌🏻
I had thought expressionism was also for artists who expressed beautiful memories, fleeting moments or dreams as well not just the disturbing 😳 ones. Maybe that just stays in impressionism.
Yeah, these movements can be confusing! Expressionism is the style where artists tried to convey emotion and meaning rather than reality. Each artist had their own unique way of "expressing" their emotions in their art. In order to express emotion, the subjects are often distorted or exaggerated.
I would also assume that this heavy connotation of the disturbing within expressionism lies in the fact that the movement emerged during a time of many, rapid changes. New ideas (philosophical, psychological, nature...), methods, technologies... Not only was the first World War around the corner, but industrialization caused a feeling of dehumanization. It was thus an outlet. But Expressionism has influenced the idea of art in such a way that there are now many many forms to be found in contemporary art, thereby also beautiful, dreamlike experiences :)
Oscar Bluemner, if you consider him Expressionist.
We really like his modern landscapes ☺️👌🏻
The more down to earth companion of Art Nouveau. Also brutally stopped by an epoch of misery, war, and political megamania.
And visually quite different, no? :)
@@CuriousMuse Even more, the difference between artwork and art. Do you know the definition of art? It tells you something about human life.
I like this series very much, but are those emojis really necessarry? Feel it kind of dumbs down the the otherwise good video
kandinsky is extraordinary…
If only Schiele could have lived to be an old man
I love Schiele!!!! reading about his life though he seemed like such a douche. but it is sad the german artists work got cut short cuz of the war.
🤯🤯🤯🤯
😬
