Expressionism concentrated mainly in Germany, and was a prevalent artistic force from
1905 to 1930. The movement's most famous paintings, which include Munch's The Scream,
Schiele's Seated Woman with Bent Knee and Van Gogh's The Starry Night, are intense,
passionate and highly personal artworks, based on the concept of the painter's canvas as a
vehicle for demonstrating their innermost feelings.
Os expressionistas usavam cores fortes e vibrantes, figuras destorcidas e por vezes se utilizava da
abstrao para tratar temas como a alienao, bem como, faziam uso emocional e simblico da cor
e da linha. O Expressionismo a arte dos extremos emocionais, da inquietao e da
espiritualidade. Podemos diferenciar o Expressionismo do Impressionismo, pois em lugar de
reproduzir uma impresso do mundo que o cercava os expressionistas colocavam em suas obras
suas prprias concluses e temperamentos sobre suas vises do mundo
The Scream (Norwegian: Skrik) is the popular name given to each of four versions of a composition,
created as both paintings and pastels, by the Expressionist artist Edvard Munch between 1893 and
1910. The German title Munch gave these works is Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature).
The works show a figure with an agonized expression against a landscape with a tumultuous orange
sky. Arthur Lubow has described The Scream as "an icon of modern art, a Mona Lisa for our time."[1]
Edvard Munch created the four versions in various media. The National Gallery, Oslo, holds one of
two painted versions (1893, shown here). The Munch Museum holds the other painted version
(1910, see gallery, below) and a pastel version from 1893. These three versions have not traveled
for years.[2]
The fourth version (pastel, 1895) was sold for $119,922,600 at Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern
Art auction on 2 May 2012 to financier Leon Black,[3][4] the fourth highest nominal price paid for a
painting at auction.[5] The painting was on display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York from
October 2012 to April 2013.
a style of painting, music, or drama in which the artist or writer seeks to express the inner world
of emotion rather than external reality
A term used to denote the use of distortion and exaggeration for emotional effect, which
first surfaced in the art literature of the early twentieth 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.
Expressionism is an artistic style in which the artist attempts to depict not objective reality
but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in him. He
accomplishes his aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and fantasy and
through the vivid, jarring, violent, or dynamic application of formal elements. In a broader
sense Expressionism is one of the main currents of art in the later 19th and the 20th
centuries, and its qualities of highly subjective, personal, spontaneous self-expression are
typical of a wide range of modern artists and art movements.
