Introduction to Expressionism and Figurative Expressionism
Expressionism is a modernist movement that emerged in the
early 20th century, characterized by its emphasis on emotional experience and subjective interpretation. The movement encompassed various artistic styles, including painting, sculpture, literature, music, and theater. In this article, we will focus on the
Expressionism art movement and its sub-movement,
Figurative Expressionism.
Figurative Expressionism is a post-World War II
American art movement that achieved international influence for
New York and put it at the center of the
western art world. It was the first to do so, and it marked a return to traditional themes of self-expression in
European art after decades of American dominance. The movement was characterized by intense subjectivity, rough handling of materials, and the return to portraying recognizable objects, such as the human body, in a rough and violently emotional way.
Edvard Munch's 'Passion'
Edvard Munch's painting Passion, created in 1913, is an excellent example of the
Figurative Expressionism art movement. The painting depicts a man and a woman in a passionate embrace, with the man's face contorted in a scream-like expression. The rough handling of materials and the intense subjectivity of the painting are characteristic of the
Figurative Expressionism movement.
Munch was a Norwegian painter who is best known for his painting
The Scream, which has become one of
Western art's most acclaimed images.
Munch's childhood was overshadowed by illness, bereavement and the dread of inheriting a mental condition that ran in the family. Studying at the Royal School of Art and Design in Kristiania (today's Oslo),
Munch began to live a bohemian life under the influence of the nihilist Hans Jæger, who urged him to paint his own emotional and psychological state ('soul painting'); from this emerged his distinctive style.
