Modern Art Movements Expressionism - Shulamith Beh

The Expressionism movement, which emerged in the early twentieth century, despite lacking formal unity, was united in its rejection of Impressionism and its aim to reveal the inner, essential reality behind outward appearance.

In this book, South African art historian Shulamith Behr offers both a historical and art-historical analysis of the Expressionism movement, particularly as it permeated German metropolitan culture during World War I.

She examines artist groups such as Die Brücke in Dresden, Der Blaue Reiter in Munich, and Die Pathetiker in Berlin, and reveals the impact of the war and the November Revolution on the movement. Although classified as "degenerate" during the Hitler era, she thoroughly investigates this significant art movement that influenced both its own time and subsequent periods.

This series introduces readers to the art movements that have left their mark on the last two centuries. It offers an illuminating perspective from which the entire developmental trajectory of modern art, both through its different periods and as a whole, can be seen.
