EXPRESSIONISM

EXPRESSIONISM

The term "expressionism" is meant to refer to the artist's expression of their soul in the painting.
In my view art at that time wasn't just drawing a piece of object or composition of an object but rather to reflect one's inner feeling. With the use of colorful paints in expressionism artists were able to portray their thought and feelings of the world being filled with war. i think the author said gave saw expressionism was a great tool to criticize the government at that time when war and threats of war(s) were in the air and the government seemed to do what ever they thought was right and not listening to the what the people say. I like the authors interpretation of expressionism as it inspire me in a way that there are various ways to be noticed or express ones feelings other than vocally speaking. Drawing is a great tool to express one view. Most artist today still express themselves in our modern society. Colorful artistry drawings are being made in criticizing the government. Examples of such drawings are political cartoons of government officials in news papers and wall painting graffiti
