  German Expressionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first Expressionist films, notably The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), The Golem (1915), and Nosferatu (1922) were highly symbolic and deliberately surrealistic portrayals of filmed stories.
The dada movement was sweeping across the artistic world in the early 1920s, and the various European cultures of the time had embraced an ethic of change, and a willingness to look to the future by experimenting with bold, new ideas and artistic styles.
The plots and stories of the Expressionist films often dealt with madness, insanity, betrayal, and other "intellectual" topics (as opposed to standard action-adventure and romantic films); the German name for this type of storytelling was called kammerspielfilm.

 Neo-expressionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neo-expressionists returned to portraying recognizable objects, such as the human body (although sometimes in a virtually abstract manner), in a rough and violently emotional way using vivid colours and banal colour harmonies.
Overtly inspired by the so-called German Expressionist painters--Emil Nolde, Max Beckmann, George Grosz--and other emotive artist such as James Ensor and Edvard Munch.
The popularity of the style, or partially even the style itself, was created by aggressive marketing and media promotion by the art dealers and galleries.

 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.

 A Critical History of 20th-Century Art - artnet Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: )
As has been said, the modern "new" has become the postmodern "neo" -- which, depending on how one conceives decadence, means decay or preciousness, perhaps decay into preciousness, implying Alexandrian codification and polishing of artistic gains rather than inspired esthetic innovation.
But the real tragedy of the ‘80s situation is that it suggests the ongoing dissociation of sensibility -- the separation of feeling and thinking -- that T. Eliot thought was the modern disease (a virtual plague in postmodernity) and that a number of psychoanalysts, particularly Gilbert Rose, thought that it was art’s task to remedy.
These mocking works, at once cartoonlike and expressionistic -- they might be called expressionistic cartoons -- take on the self-absorption of the times.

 [Projekat Rastko] Sava Stepanov: ON MINIMALISM
The first steps were made in the eighties, within the tissue of the subjectively euforic neo-expressionism.
All of this was largely related to the thesis of Italian critic Germano Celant regarding the art of the nineties: "after the fluster of neo-expressionism, the art again refers to logic and the philosophy of art through a reduced participation of the personal".
This also affected the creation of a (neo) constructivist discourse which the contemporary artist opposed to the dominant principle of destruction (economic to ethical, physical, war destruction) in a society living its crucial changes.

These opening lines from a textbook describing an often overlooked and less understood artistic movement of the early 20th century are a startlingly apt description of the recent release by composer Dwight Ashley, Four.
Nearly a hundred years after the seminal works of such expressionist composers as Arnold Schoenberg and Charles Ives, Ashley has taken the ambient/electronic sound palette and produced a nakedly neo-expressionistic reinterpretation of the genre that is at once exquisitely beautiful and profoundly disturbing.
True to expressionist principles, Ashley has crafted his music to seduce listeners into travelling through his psyche, and in turn, their own.

Expressionist - more radical in uses of new tonality, linked to several new techniques of establishing pitch such as Serialism, atonality and perhaps most difficult to describe, the 12 - tone, or dodecaphonic series, consisting of 12 notes that are organized in relation to one another.
All of the Impressionist, Expressionist and Neo-classicist composers mentioned in this class were members of the Avant Garde.
Atonality - the opposite of tonality, where a central pitch provides as basis for the rest of the composition - for example, Beethoven's 5th Symphony is centered around the pitch known as "C".

The contemporary art scene's boycott of the expressionist stroke is like a Hegelian pendulum swinging against the Neo-Expressionist period of the 1980's.
Hart, an expressionist painter whose lineage seems as closely aligned with the masters of the early-twentieth century as it does with the figurative painters of the 1950's, is so clearly out of step with the current moment that to show his work seems an act of foolishness, or, alternatively, absolute bravery and conviction.
Hart may have a weakness for Expressionist sources that never quite pull free of reference, but Hart has a rich feeling for color and draughtsmanship that meld to torn paper.

 Haber's Art Reviews: Georg Baselitz and Josef Albers
Neo-Expressionism came among the first of many "neo" movements, and the loaded prefix added an unsettling nostalgia to Modernism's shock of the new.
Since then, other artists have made any gestural painting look quaint; talk about "shock art," misleading as it is, fairly suggests all the confrontation of German Expression and the fl paintings of Robert Rauschenberg combined.
The new (or Neo) art looked accessible but could hardly be bothered to linger for an answer.

László Paizs is essentially an expressionist, but he is a latterday or Neo-expressionist - an expressionist into bleakness rather than brightness, more aware of the grimness of the world than hoping for a better world, as both the Brücke and Blaue Reiter artists did, at least before the first World War.
The series of oil and colored polyester paintings is a sculptural happening; the shadowy, splattered figures are a kind of abstract expressionist painting.
They are at once flat, fractured, and texturally dynamic, as though the dynamics of destruction could give them vitality, thus overturning the loss they embody.

In this case the ‘fallen angels’ are the original citizens of the great North American rainforest and the architect of their fall is our own hubris.
This is an object-oriented abstract expressionist painting using 2 x 2 timbers made from the trees of the rainforest as the painting instruments, thus connecting the results of the fall with those that have fallen.
Professional acrylics were used in the creation of this painting, as a well as a small amount of artist’s oil colors for the leaf debris (using actual leaves for instruments).

 Contemporary Paintings: Abstract Art by Eva Ryn Johannissen
Even if most of my recent paintings are essentially abstract and can probably best be classified as non-representational, non-objective mindscapes, they also contain elements that balance just on the border between representation and abstraction.
As an expressionist artist I'm interested in exxpressing emotions and inner states of mind rather than describing what the material world looks like.
I am particularly interested in the works of a variety of expressionist artists, from Van Gogh and the Scandinavian artists Edvard Munch and August Strindberg to the completely abstract paintings of the American Abstract Expressionist artists Rothko and Richard Diebenkorn.

As a fledgling "Neo-Expressionist" painter in grad school, the likes of Keifer, Lupertz, and Immendorff were mentor-like high achievers who, in my eyes, were channeling both their Expressionist predecessors and the whole of German history.
With this a sea change came a period of do-it-yourself expression without the aspirations to greatness or record deals.

 Kinoeye | Italian Horror: Dario Argento's Opera
When Betty returns home with Marco after Stefano's murder, Argento, not satisfied with the conventional establishing shot, cranes his camera up in an apparently uninterrupted take of the entire façade of her building to the window where her apartment is situated.
Likewise, when Betty has discovered the killer in her apartment after Mira's murder, the Dutch angles created by the camera destabilise the space she is in and become an expressionistic correlative to her distraught mind.
When she realizes that the officer meant to protect her has also been dispatched by the stalker, the camera slowly spirals out from Betty over the policeman's body in another vertiginous crane to the ceiling, leaving her looking small and vulnerable and the audience dizzy with fearful anticipation.

Basquiat was forced to perform himself as a "primitive," and Haring sought to form his own popular business to escape from a fixed identity within the cloistered gallery scene.
The new painters were not all expressionists, but seemed that way by virtue of their commitment to "pictures" in an artworld still dominated by conceptual and minimal modes.
Unlike earlier Expressionisms, these "NEO" Expressionist artists appropriated their imagery from mass culture (film stills, 50s advertisements, photographs) and began to produce arguments against Modernism as a "high art" produced from a supposedly isolated critical position.
