Artistic Movement developped between 1885 and 1930 in Escandinavia, France and Germany.
It reacts against the traditional ideal of the formal agreement,
proclaiming the total rupture with the artistic system of the XIX Century.
The artist, with the intention of achieving the representation
of a total reality , he worries but of the direct expression of the feelings
that of the refinement of the pictorial technique.
In the total rejection of the one idealized human figure of the XIX Century,
they paint the uglyness, the vulgarity, the same as the original beauty
of the natural things.
They illustrate, by means of the contracts, the negative horizon of the
experiences of the life and the mistaken order of values
that the prejudice give to us.
This style is summed up in the rebellion against the social injustices,
in the contemt
toward the conventional goods of the culture,
in the enthusiasm for the naturalness,
and in the hope of the creation of a new world.
They want to present beings that they breathe, love, feel and suffer.
The Expressionism is an artistic current that seeks the expression of the feelings and the emotions of the author more than the representation of the objective reality.
It reveals the pessimistic side of the life generated by the historic circumstances of the moment.
The existential anguish is the main motor of its esthetics.
The end is to promote the emotional impact of the spectator distorting and exaggerating the themes. They represent the emotions without being worried of the external reality, but of the internal nature and of the impressions that awakes in the observer. The expressive and psychological force are showed to us through the pure and strong colors, the forms twisted and the aggressive composition. It does not matter neither the light neither the perspective, that is altered deliberately.
The Expressionism is initiated with a preliminary period represented by the Belgian one Ensor and the Norwegian one Munch.
The primitivism of the sculptures and masks of Africa and Oceania also supposed for the artists a
great source of inspiration.
We find some roots of the Expressionism in the black paintings of Goya, that show us that interior world. Nevertheless, the referring immediate they are Van Gogh and Gaugain, so much by the technique as by the psychological depth.
Another group of great influence is the symbolism, understood as the search in which the artist seeks to translate the feelings, the states of the soul, the subjective fears, the fantasies and the dreams.
