The Pocket Expressionism (Gemini Pockets) [9781802474022]

Overview

An introduction to Expressionism, the early twentieth-century art movement.

Expressionism was a revolutionary modernist art movement that sought to release the emotions from deep within the creator rather than depicting the world outside. Born of nineteenth-century anxieties over cities, machines and conflict, this modern art form evolved into a fierce instrument of social commentary, producing some of the world's most famous paintings.

Journey through the emotive world of expressionism through intimate profiles of its ten most influential artists, featuring deep dives into the details of their iconic masterpieces. From the intense anxiety of Edvard Munch's The Scream to the raw, uninhibited energy of Schmidt-Rottluff's Self-Portrait with Monocle, each profile will help you understand this dramatic and bold style. Featuring fascinating history, quotes and a dynamic design, The Pocket Expressionism is the perfect gift for art lovers, students or creatives.
