| | Art View; EXPRESSIONISM RETURNS TO PAINTING - New York Times |
 | | The raw avowals of feeling associated with Expressionism, its tendency toward extravagance and bombast, its penchant for untamed images and showy displays of energy -these and other aspects of Expressionism have been systematically disparaged in favor of styles that are very cool, tightly controlled and highly impersonal. |
 | | Now a new manifestation of the Expressionist spirit has arisen to challenge the established view of these matters, and it is making extraordinary headway in winning converts and altering taste. |
 | | In Germany, not surprisingly, the Neo-Expressionists have won a great deal of attention, for it was in Germany that the Expressionist movement originated some 75 years ago, and its revival is therefore seen as, among other things, a vindication of a national artistic tradition. |
