This term is called a painting in which the term premium on the representation of subjective objectivity. Anxieties raised vital man and this has a dramatic tension, pessimistic and critical. This term covers works and authors of an extended period, although the country where the vanguard reached the highest intensity is in Germany. Its general features are accentuated in times of crisis.
The fundamental value is individual freedom of expression, but with common bonds: The artist expresses emotions, wanting to play in the viewer feelings. The moments of tension, frustration and tears in the political cause of these painters palette the expression of a cry of protest.
In Germany, the cities of Dresden, Munich and Berlin are the cultural and artistic contacts, along with Paris, where groups of artists emerge outlining expressionism.
The most important painters are:
• Munch (1863-1944). When his first exhibition in Berlin in 1892, shocked and exhibition is closed. Munch is devoted to the study of the psychological problems of modern society, illness and death for them become a constant in his work. The form was created with the subjective participation of the box in the object, an object that is the first man with his feelings and sensations, elements that have hitherto been forbidden. The Scream, his most famous work, the author describes it as an expression of loneliness, anxiety and fear to feel the cold, vast and infinite nature, unrealistic colors, violent, linking the landscape and are at the heart a person in distress
• Ensor (1860-1949). His technique is of vivid colors and fine texture and compact. The masks, present in his works, are grotesque to reach the macabre, Old mask.
• The group of Dresden. They share some techniques and purposes, as the use of flat color, arbitrary elongation of the figures, the thematic overlap (nudity, animals, dancers ,...), black outlines and the strength of the line. Highlights in this group Kirchner (1880-1938) and Nolde (1867-1956).
• The group of Munich. In the second wave arises Munich expressionist. Common characteristics of this group are a dynamic and symbolism in the use of color and the tendency to abstraction. Stresses in this group Kandinsky (1866-1944). considered one of the most brilliant theorists of the century.
• The Vienna Group. During the war some painters need to express their grief at the irrationality and destruction. Kokoschka (1886-1980), using bold and colored spots like a whirlwind, which does not leave all his life.
