	ARTSetc: The Bauhaus, modernism and domestic architecture
		At first the Bauhaus was mainly involved with expressionist art, design and architecture, but later became famous for its development of a style of functional architecture and its experimental use of building materials.
		Gropius was interested in a more expressionist kind of architecture and was involved in the Newman Gallery Exhibition of Unknown Architects in 1919, which displayed visionary sketches and models.
		Walter Gropius studied architecture between 1903 and 1907, then worked for Behrens from 1908 to 1910.

	Expressionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.
		In this general sense, painters such as Matthias Grünewald and El Greco can be called expressionist, though in practice, the term is applied mainly to 20th century works.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Expressionist Utopias: Paradise, Metropolis, Architectural Fantasy
		"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 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.
		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.

	EXPRESSIONIST ARCHITECTURE
		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.
		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.

	Expressionist Utopias
		"Expressionist Utopias demonstrates how artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Hans Poelzig, and Erich Mendelsohn 'transformed their expectations of a natural paradise into the promise of a man-made cultural utopia.' Their work set the stage for the pragmatism that emerged in the art and architecture of the 1920s.
		This book--prepared to accompany the exhibition Expressionist Utopias mounted at the Los Angeles County Museum in 1993--explores how the optimistic themes of utopia and fantasy sustained faith among artists and architects in the power of art to shape a better world during the tumultuous World War I era in Germany.
		Timothy O. Benson is Curator of the Robert Gore Rifkind Center for German Expressionist Studies at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

	ninemsn Encarta - Search View - Dutch Art and Architecture
		In architecture, the Netherlands produced several notable individual figures in the 20th century, as well as a group known as the Amsterdam School that created some remarkable buildings in a mildly Expressionist style in the period from about 1915 to 1930.
		Dutch architecture and sculpture also enjoyed something of a golden age in the 17th century, although the achievements in these fields are far outshone by those in painting.
		In architecture, French influence was likewise strong, one of the leading architects of the day being the French-born Daniel Marot, who designed several handsome buildings in The Hague.

	A Hundred Years of Dutch Architecture. 1901-2000. Trends, Highlights
		Each of these projects embodies a 'take' on a particular architectural issue and serves as a crystallization point for five approaches - traditionalist, expressionist, functionalist, rationalist and postmodern - that can be distilled from the welter of design strategies.
		A Hundred Years of Dutch Architecture reconstructs the frames of reference within which Dutch architects operated in the century that has just ended.
		The significance both social and designwise of the five architectural strands is explored in as many essays before moving on to the documentation.

	artnet.com: Resource Library: Moneo, Rafael
		In his early career Moneo was connected with the Nueva Forma group and influenced by Expressionist and organic architecture, for example in his project (1961) for the Centro de Restauraciones, Madrid (in collaboration with Fernando Higueras), or the Fábrica Diestre (1964–7), Saragossa, more like Alvar Aalto’s work in its alignments.
		The Edificio Urumea (1968), San Sebastian, however, is an early example of the contextual integration that became one of the overriding concerns of Moneo’s later architecture.
		The Edificio Bankinter (1972–7), Madrid, with its explicit rejection of the Functionalism of the new office tower-blocks on the Paseo de la Castellana, its dialogue with an earlier urban architecture and its eclectic references and complex geometry, opened a new phase in Moneo’s work, and the style was reaffirmed in the Ayuntamiento (1973–81) in Longroño.

	Chapter 5
		Bruno Taut (1880-1938) was a German expressionist architect.
		But it is very important for us to note that the judgments Taut and Gropius passed on these works of Japanese architecture were made entirely from within the context of Modern Architecture.
		The second reason, I believe, can be traced to the encounter of Bruno Taut and Walter Gropius with the Katsura Detached Palace and their well-publicized response to it.

		Museums are tombs, and it looks like everything is turning into a museum.”[8] Robert Smithson reacted against Abstract Expressionist artists like Pollock by looking for the iconic imagery that he felt was “lurking or buried” under the “purity” of their paintings.
		The DMA is made up of multiple “museums,” both in terms of the architecture and the diversity of its departments.
		The next step is for the museum to challenge itself and challenge us to embrace Smithson’s idea of entropy, to allow the museum’s departments, architecture and commerce to infect one another.
