Expressionists

In the twentieth century no artistic current has had a more profound impact than Expressionism. This term has served not only to characterize a trend in modern painting but is also recognized as a movement in literature, theatre and cinema. The expressionist aesthetic consists above all in the primary importance assigned to the emotions and the absence, or even a defiant rejection, of a formal code and is social conventions. The expressionist artist is an individual, a law unto himself.
