Expressionism is an artistic movement that emphasizes the expression of inner emotions and experiences, rather than the accurate depiction of reality.

Expressionist art is characterized by bright, vibrant colors, distorted and exaggerated forms, and emotional intensity.

Edvard Munch is widely regarded as the father of Expressionism, primarily due to his iconic painting 'The Scream', which epitomizes the emotional intensity and psychological anguish characteristic of the movement.

Die Brücke, meaning 'The Bridge' in German, was an influential Expressionist group formed in Dresden, Germany, in 1905. The group sought to challenge traditional artistic conventions and explore new forms of expression.

Die Brücke artists sought to express their inner emotions and experiences through the use of bold colors, exaggerated forms, and the exploration of social and political issues.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff were all founding members of Die Brücke.

Der Blaue Reiter, meaning 'The Blue Rider' in German, was an Expressionist group formed in Munich, Germany, in 1911. The group was named after Wassily Kandinsky's painting 'Der Blaue Reiter'.

Der Blaue Reiter artists explored abstract art, spiritual and mystical themes, and the combination of different artistic styles.

Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and August Macke were all members of Der Blaue Reiter.

Expressionism challenged traditional artistic conventions, led to the development of abstract art, and influenced the development of Surrealism.

Pablo Picasso is not typically associated with Expressionism. He is more closely associated with Cubism and Surrealism.

Expressionism focuses on inner emotions, while Impressionism focuses on external reality. Expressionism uses bold colors and exaggerated forms, while Impressionism uses soft colors and subtle brushstrokes. Expressionism is more subjective, while Impressionism is more objective.

The Scream by Edvard Munch is a classic example of an Expressionist painting, known for its intense emotional content and distorted forms.

The Weeping Woman by Pablo Picasso is an example of an Expressionist sculpture, known for its emotional intensity and distorted forms.

Expressionism had a significant impact on the development of Abstract Expressionism, an artistic movement that emerged in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s.
