What is Expressionism?
Expressionism is an artistic style in which an artist
attempts to portray not objective reality but more
on the subjective emotions and responses that
objects, events, or situations arouse in him/her.
Among the different styles that ascended within
the Expressionist art movement were:
• Neo-Primitivism
• Fauvism
• Surrealism
• Dadaism
• Social Realism
Neo-Primitivism
• This is a new genre in art that trend in Russian
painting in the early twentieth century. Influences
from the Western avant-garde were combined in a
deliberately crude way with features derivative
from the peasant art, lukbi, and other aspects of
Russia’s artistic heritage.

Fauvism
• This was the first avant-garde movements that
flourished in France in he early years of the
twentieth century. It is the style of les Fauves
(French for “the wild beasts”) a loose group of
early twentieth-century modern artists whose
works emphasized painterly qualities and strong
color over the representational or realistic values
retained by Impressionism.
Fauvism
• The group hoped to give scientific thoroughness to
Impressionism , and these artists had been
experimenting with the use of pure, unmixed
colors. It was more an instinctive coming together
of artists who wished to express themselves by
using bold colors, simplified drawing, and
expressive brushwork.
Fauvism Artwork
Dadaism
• Dada was a literary and artistic movement that
originated in Europe during the time of horrors of
World War I. The relupsion of war brought several
artists, writers, and intellectuals together.
• They expressed their anger through an artistic
tradition of protesting.
Characteristics of Dadaism
• It had only one rule. Never follow any known rules.
• Its arts was intended to provoke an emotional reaction
from the viewer (typically shock or outrage).
• It was nonsensical to the point of being whimsical.
Although almost all members who created it were fiercely
serious.
• There was no predominant mediums and styles in Dadaist
art. They used assemblage, collage, photomontage and
the use of ready-made objects among others.
Hannah Hoch
• She is known for her collages and photomontages out of
newspaper and magazine clippings.
• She also integrated the use of sewing and craft designs.
• She humiliated the German culture by literally slicing
apart its imagery and reassembling in into vivid,
disjointed, emotion expressions of modern life.

Surrealism

unconscious to express itself.
The following are some of the key figures who
influenced the concepts od Surrealism:
• Andre Breton

Their focus is on the power of personal imagination


that somehow puts them in the tradition of
Romanticism. However, they believed that the
revelations could be found on the street and in
everyday life.
Max Ernst
• Max Ernst was a German painter, Sculptor, graphic
artist, and poet. He was a prolific artist and a primary
pioneer of the Dada and Surrealist movements. A
fanatical Surrealist with birds, he had a birdlike alter
ego.

striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His
painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of
Renaissance masters.
