Summary: Primarily German painting and graphic art from 1905-1919. Frank Whitford's "Expressionism" provides a focused overview of the Expressionist movement, which primarily emerged in Germany and Austria in the early 20th century as a reaction against the perceived superficiality of Impressionism and academic art. The book examines how Expressionism sought to express inner experience and intense emotion rather than physical reality, often using distorted forms and vivid, non-naturalistic colors.
