Expressionism

Expressionism

was a cultural movement, originating in Germany at the start of the 20th century.

Its typical trait is to present the world under an utterly subjective perspective, violently distorting it to obtain an emotional effect and vividly transmit personal moods and ideas.

Expressionist artists sought to express the meaning of "being alive" and emotional experience rather than physical reality.

Characteristics

attempt to describe emotions and feelings visually.

Subjectivity: Some non-Expressionist art relies on color and shape distortion to create an enhanced sense of reality

Vivid Coloration: Expressionists view color as an emotional device

Pablo Picasso

Cubism

the subject matter is broken up, analyzed, and reassembled .Picasso and Braque initiated the movement when they followed the advice of Paul Cézanne, who in 1904 said artists should treat nature "in terms of the cylinder, the sphere and the cone."

Blue and Rose Period

Blue Period: painted essentially monochromatic paintings in shades of blue and blue-green, only occasionally warmed by other colors. These somber works, inspired by Spain but painted in Paris, are now some of his most popular works, although he had difficulty selling them at the time.

Rose Period: paintings used cheerful orange and pink colors in contrast to the cool, somber tones of the previous Blue Period. Harlequins, circus performers and clowns appear frequently in the Rose Period and will populate Picasso's paintings at various stages through the rest of his long career.
