Is the name of the art
movement
“expressionism” familiar
to you at all? If yes, what
do you know about this
movement?
Expressionism:
A Bold New
Movement
Expressionism: A Bold New
Movement
-early 1900s, there arose in the
Western art world a movement
that came to be known as
expressionism. Expressionist artists
created works with more emotional
force, rather than with realistic or
natural images.
To achieve this, they distorted
outlines, applied strong colors,
and exaggerated forms. They
worked more with their
imagination and feelings,
rather than with what their
eyes saw in the physical world.
Among the various styles that
arose within the expressionist art
movements were:
· neoprimitivism
· fauvism
· dadaism
· surrealism
· social realism
Neo-primitivism was an art style that
incorporated elements from the native
arts of the South Sea Islanders and the
wood carvings of African tribes which
suddenly became popular at that time.
Among the Western artists who adapted
these elements was Amedeo Modigliani,

Fauvism was a style that used
bold, vibrant colors and visual
distortions. Its name was derived
from les fauves (“wild beasts”),
referring to the group of French
expressionist painters who painted
in this style. Perhaps the most
known among them was Henri
Matisse.

Dadaism was a style
characterized by dream
fantasies, memory images, and
visual tricks and surprises—as in
the paintings of Marc Chagall
and Giorgio de Chirico.

Surrealism was a style that depicted
an illogical, subconscious dream world
beyond the logical, conscious, physical
one. Its name came from the term
“super realism,” with its artworks
clearly expressing a departure from
reality—as though the artists were
dreaming, seeing illusions, or
experiencing an altered mental state.
Many surrealist works
depicted morbid or gloomy
subjects, as in those by
Salvador Dali. Others were
quite playful and even
humorous, such as those by
Paul Klee and Joan Miro.

The movement known as
social realism-expressed the
artist’s role in social reform.
Here, artists used their works to
protest against the injustices,
inequalities, immorality, and
ugliness of the human condition.
In different periods of history, social
realists have addressed different
issues: war, poverty, corruption,
industrial and environmental
hazards, and more—in the hope of
raising people’s awareness and
pushing society to seek reforms.

Oil on canvas (Size: 11’ 5 1/2” x 25’ 5 3/4”)
Pablo Picasso’s Guernica has been
recognized as the most monumental
and comprehensive statement of
social realism against the brutality of
war. It was Picasso’s outcry against
the German air raid of the town of
Guernica in his native Spain.
It made use of the exaggeration,
distortion, and shock technique
of expressionism. At the same
time, it had elements of the
emerging style that would later
be known as cubism.
Expressionism is a movement of
modern art that began in Europe
in the early 1900s. It was more
concerned with emotional
impact, rather than realism. To
do this, it made use of distorted
outlines, strong colors, and
exaggerated forms.
Expressionism has several sub-
movements, namely:
neoprimitivism, fauvism, dadaism,
surrealism, and social realism. The
Spanish painter Pablo Picasso was
one of the foremost figures in
expressionist art, along with Henri
Matisse, Salvador Dali, Paul Klee, and
Joan Miro.
1.Give a brief definition of the
modern art movement called
expressionism.
2. When and where did it begin?
3. Name three expressionist artists
that you learned about in this
session.
4. Name the five sub-movements of
expressionism.

Abstractionism
Another group of artistic styles
emerged at the same time as the
expressionist movement. It had the
same spirit of freedom of
expression and openness that
characterized life in the 20th
century, but it differed from
expressionism in certain ways. This
group of styles was known as
abstractionism.
The abstractionist
movement arose from
the intellectual points of
view in the 20 century.
th
This intellectualism was
reflected even in art.
While expressionism was
emotional, abstractionism
was logical and rational.

Artists reduced a scene into
geometrical shapes, patterns, lines,
angles, textures and swirls of color.
The resulting works ranged from
representational abstractionism,
depicting still recognizable subjects to
pure abstractionism, where no
recognizable subject could be
discerned
Grouped under
abstractionism are the
following art styles:
cubism
futurism
mechanical style
non objectivism
Cubism
The cubist style derived its
name from the cube, a three
dimensional geometric figure
composed of strictly measured
lines, planes, and angles. Cubist
artworks were, therefore, a play
of planes and angles on a flat
surface.
Foremost
among the
cubists was

The movement known as
futurism began in Italy in the
early 1900s. As the name
implies, the futurists created
art for a fast-paced, machine-
propelled age. They admired
the motion, force, speed, and
strength of mechanical forms.
Thus, their works
depicted the dynamic
sensation of all these—
as can be seen in the
works of Italian painter
Gino Severini.

Mechanical Style
As a result of the
futurist movement,
what became known as
the mechanical style
emerged.
In this style, basic
forms such as planes,
cones, spheres, and
cylinders all fit together
precisely and neatly in
their appointed places.

Nonobjectivism
The logical geometrical
conclusion of abstractionism
came in the style known as non
objectivism. From the very term
“non-object,” works in this style
did not make use of figures or
even representations of figures.
They did not refer to
recognizable objects or forms
in the outside world. Lines,
shapes, and colors were
used in a cool, impersonal
approach that aimed for
balance, unity, and stability.
Colors were mainly black,
white, and the primaries
(red, yellow, and blue).
Foremost among the non
objectivists was Dutch
painter Piet Mondrian

The daring young artists in
this movement succeeded in
creating their own synthesis
of Europe’s cubist and
surrealist styles. Their style
came to be known as abstract
expressionism.

Color Field Painting
In contrast to the vigorous
gestures of the action painters,
another group of artists who
came to be known as “color field
painters” used different color
saturations (purity, vividness,
intensity) to create their desired
effects.
Some of their works
were huge fields of
vibrant color—as in the
paintings of Mark
Rothko and Barnett
Newman.

After “The New York School”
By the early 1960s, the
momentum of The New York
School slowed down. In its place,
a new crop of artists came on
the scene using lighter
treatment and flashes of humor,
even irreverence, in their
artworks.
The movements they
brought about have come
to be called:
neo dadaism and pop
art
conceptual art
op art
Like the dadaist movement that arose
after World War I, the neodadaism of
the 1960s wanted to make reforms in
traditional values. It also made use of
Common place, trivial, even
nonsensical objects. But unlike the
angry, serious tone of the original
dadaists, the neodadaists seemed to
enjoy nonsense for its own sake and
simply wanted to laugh at the world.
Their works ranged from
paintings, to posters, to collages,
to three dimensional
“assemblages” and installations.
These made use of easily
recognizable objects and images
from the emerging consumer
society—as in the prints of Andy
Warhol

Conceptual Art
As the term implies, conceptual art was that
which arose in the mind of the artist, took
concrete form for a time, and then
disappeared (unless it was captured in
photo or film documentation).
Conceptualists questioned the idea of art
as objects to be bought and sold. Instead,
they brought their artistic ideas to life
temporarily, using such unusual materials
as grease, blocks of ice, food, even just
plain dirt.

Op Art
Another movement that emerged in the
1960s was optical art or “op art.” This
was yet another experiment in visual
experience—a form of “action painting,”
with the action taking place in the
viewer’s eye. In op art, lines, spaces,
and colors were precisely planned and
positioned to give the illusion of
movement

Contemporary Arts
Forms:
Installation Art and
Performance Art
Installation art is a contemporary art
form that uses sculptural materials and
other media to modify the way the
viewer experiences a particular space.
Usually life size or sometimes even
larger, installation art is not necessarily
confined to gallery spaces. It can be
constructed or positioned in everyday
public or private spaces, both indoor
and outdoor

Performance art is a form of modern art in
which the actions of an individual or a group
at a particular place and in a particular time
constitute the work. It can happen
anywhere, at any time, or for any length of
time. It can be any situation that involves
four basic elements:
time
space
the performer’s body
a relationship between performer and
audience
