Expressi

onism

1905 to 1940's

Expressionism is a style in which the intention is not to reproduce a

subject accurately, but instead to portray it in such a way as to express

the inner state of the artist. The movement is especially associated withGermany, and was influenced by such emotionally-charged styles as

Symbolism, Fauvism, and Cubism.

In the mid-20th century, Abstract Expressionism (in which there is no

subject at all, but instead pure abstract form) developed into an

extremely influential style in the United States.

45/50

It is a term used to denote the use of distortion and exaggeration for

emotional effect, which first surfaced in the art literature of the earlytwentieth century. When applied in a stylistic sense, with reference in

particular to the use of intense colour, agitated brushstrokes, and

disjointed space. Rather than a single style, it was a climate that affected

not only the fine arts but also dance, cinema, literature and the theatre.

Unlike Impressionism, its goals were not to reproduce the impression

suggested by the surrounding world, but to strongly impose the artist's

own sensibility to the world's representation.

Dadais

m

(1916 - 1924)

Dada began as an anti-art movement, in the sense that it rejected the

way art was appreciated and defined in contemporary art scenes.

Founded in Zurich, Switzerland, the movement was a response toWorld War I. It had no unifying aesthetic characteristics but what

brought together the Dadaists was that they shared a nihilistic attitude

towards the traditional expectations of artists and writers.

The word Dada literally means both "hobby horse" and "father", but

was chosen at random more for the naive sound. What After finding its

origins in Zurich, the Dada movement spread the Berlin, Cologne,

Hanover, Paris, some parts of Russia, and New York city.


49/50

In Zurich, the movement was centered in Hugo Balls CabaretVoltaire, where many of the founding Dadaist gathered to express their

ideas. Neutral during both World Wars, Switzerlandwas an ideal placefor objectors to the war, those avoiding military service, and those who

wished to find a place for free expression.

Other elements integral to the Dada movement were the non-attempt tounderlie work with any reference to intellectual analysis. Dada was also

a reaction the bourgeois Victorian values of the late 19th and early 20th

centuries. The work was also absurd and playfulbut at times intuitive

and even cryptic. Methods of production were unconventional,

employing the chance technique, and found objects. Dadaists rejectionof these values was an attempt to make a statement on the social values

and cultural trends of a contemporary world facing a devastating period

of war.
