Expressionism - Norbert Wolf

Through panoramic portrayals of mood, ideas, and emotions, Expressionism stands as one of the most reactionary and influential art movements of the early twentieth century. This introduction assesses Expressionism’s stylistic tendencies, influences, and the artists’ pursuit for authenticity within this well-known artistic movement.

Each book in Taschen’s Basic Genre series features a detailed, illustrated introduction to the movement and approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions. The most prominent works are each presented on a two-page spread including a full-page image and an accompanying interpretation, along with the artist’s portrait and a brief biography.
