	Expressionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Expressionism is also found in other art forms - the novels of Franz Kafka are often described as expressionist, for example, and there was a concentrated Expressionist movement in early 20th century German theatre centred around Georg Kaiser and Ernst Toller.
		What distinguished these composers from their contemporaries such as Maurice Ravel, George Gershwin and Igor Stravinsky is that expressionist composers self-consciously used atonality to free their artform from the traditional tonality.
		The importance of color was its expressive power, no longer was the subject the medium which led to drama or sentiment in the work of art, but it was the use of color and lines that were the expressive and powerful means.

	Abstract expressionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the first truly original school of painting in America, abstract expressionism demonstrated the vitality and creativity of the country in the post-war years, as well as its need (or ability) to develop an aesthetic sense that was not constrained by the European standards of beauty.
		They saw it as a means of promoting the idea that the USA was a haven of free thought and free markets, and also as a means of challenging both the socialist realist styles prevalent in communist nations, and the dominance of the European art markets.
		Articles on two leading abstract expressionists Jackson Pollock and Philip Guston, by American artist Dorothy Koppelman, relating their art to their lives from the Aesthetic Realism point of view, can be seen on the Terrain Gallery Web site.

		American gangster and detective literatures fully incorporate the urban mythos of expressionism; the noir genre is based on the exploration of the underside and the unconscious of the city and its geography.
		Brecht constructs a gigantic Chicago of mythic proportions, a metaphysical projection of Chicago in its distorted and transfigured essence in which the audience is instructed to concentrate on the expressionist agon: "concern yourself with the human element, evaluate the antagonists' fighting spirit impartially and concentrate your interest on the showdown" (12).
		Expressionist distortions of nature or the urban landscape are precipitated by the projection of wounded subjectivity onto the external world.

	Carol Hoorn Fraser - The Expressionist Image
		Rather, I use the word expressionist as a term to describe a quality which may or may not be present in the art of any people at any time.
		It is that of the expressive silhouette, which as a formal element depends on the tension created by the restraining and compression of a gesture or gestures by an imposed and simplified shape or contour.
		With their excessive requirements for more and better visual devices to express the knotty emotions of inner experience, it is not surprising that expressionist artists are responsible for the main developments in the techniques of the graphic arts.

	James Kelly -- S.F. abstract expressionist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		James Kelly, a pioneering abstract expressionist painter whose bold, lyrical style made him one of the most influential painters of the genre's San Francisco school, has died.
		He returned to painting after the war and ventured to San Francisco in 1950 to study at the School of Fine Arts, which was at the time a hotbed of innovation in painting, recalled his wife.
		The abstract expressionist movement -- in which form and color take precedence over literal representations of landscapes, objects and the like -- was in full swing, and San Francisco was, like New York, an epicenter.

	Rebels: Painters and Poets of the 1950s
		Moreover, while the artists subsequently labeled Abstract Expressionists frequently resisted categorization and often stressed the philosophical and formal distinctions among themselves, there is nevertheless a consensus among scholars that Abstract Expressionism was a cohesive intellectual and artistic experience.
		Although by the early 1950s most of the Abstract Expressionists had developed their signature styles, Harold Rosenberg's December 1952 essay "The Action Painters," in Art News, nevertheless dispensed additional credibility, for it provided the artists and their patrons the verbal framework with which to articulate the philosophical underpinnings and significance of this new style.
		While the remaining Abstract Expressionists continued to paint, exhibit frequently, and receive favorable critical attention (not to mention increasing prices for their work), in retrospect it is apparent that by the mid-to-late 1950s, their aesthetic leadership, albeit not their public popularity, was on the wane.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Expressionist Utopias: Paradise, Metropolis, Architectural Fantasy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		"Expressionist Utopias: Paradise, Metropolis, Architectural Fantasy," was originally published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
		The idea is that while all of the arts can offer a realm of fantasy, architecture becomes especially captivating because in part it provides the communal spaces of cultural identity in the form of meeting rooms, religious structures, and government buildings.
		The back of "Expressionist Utopias" includes an appendix that surveys the social exchange that took place in various articles and manifestos, offering a sampling of the Crystal Chain's illustrated "utopia correspondence." There is also a biography of each artist and architect from the exhibit.

	EXPRESSIONIST ARCHITECTURE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Although it did not constitute a large number of buildings, and it was stamped out in Germany by the Nazis as "degenerate", it did establish a base for a movement in architecture later realized in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as in the 1980s.
		The first evidence of the expressionist attitude was the idea of monumentality projected by a building.
		The International Style which dominated architecture from the 1940s to the 1970s was greatly influenced by expressionist architecture, as was its offshoot, Brutalism, in the early 1970s.

	Art Journal: The mature Richier, the young Cesar: expressionist confluences in French postwar sculpture - Germaine ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Although of different generations, both sculptors used their thorough grounding in the building of classical figures to shape nonstereotypical human forms, either expressively figurative or partaking of the human and the animal realms, against the dominant trend of the time--abstraction.
		Although not censored as such, it was rarely on display and prompted vulgar outbursts in the pro-Nazi press.(10) Because it was suppressed during the years of intense suffering in France, an Expressionist, humanistic art focusing on the battered body might understandably have exploded in the aftermath of war.
		What caused the Expressionist detour against predominant trends observable in the oeuvre of the mature Richier and that of the young Cesar remains an enigma.

	Artist Profile: Arshile Gorky, Abstract Expressionist
		This idea also influenced other Abstract Expressionists, such as Jackson Pollock, who painted his famous 'drip' paintings in this manner (it is sort of like stream of consciousness in writing, or improvisation in jazz).
		Another Surrealist idea which influenced Gorky and some other Abstract Expressionists was biomorphism, which is somewhat abstracted and simplified natural shapes; these can also be seen in Miro's paintings and Arp's sculpture (both Surrealists).
		Gorky was one of the European artists whose work influenced their thinking and manner of painting, in varying degrees for the painters (probably de Kooning was most influenced by Gorky).

		In contrast, the Expressionist is an 8 channel unit, and while any of the outputs can be used in most any CV way you can think of, you do have to give up a channel of full conversion to use it for a CV out.
		The Pro4 data knob is nicer than the Expressionist buttons, and the numeric values wrap from Max to Min.
		On the Expressionist, this is a lot easier to deal with from an onscreen menu, plus the values are saved on a per patch basis.

		The expressionist artist substitutes to the visul object reality his own image of this object, which he feels as an accurate representation of its real meaning.
		Gustave Moreau was already saying not to believe to the reality of what he touched or saw, but instead to his own interior perception; expressionism has been holding this theory to its extreme application.
		The most famed German expressionists are Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Lyonel Feininger, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, August Macke, Emil Nolde, Max Pechstein; the Austrian Oskar Kokoschka, the Czech Alfred Kubin and the Norvegian Edvard Munch are also related to this movement.

		According to Museum curator Susan Danly, the great strength of the German Expressionist movement as a whole and of the Bradford collection in particular comes from their ability to engage the viewer in an examination of the uneasy confrontation between the self and modern society.
		They readily admit that German Expressionist art is not always easy to view, but that "it is powerful, and the collecting and viewing of it has played a satisfying role in our life.
