Kifejezdésével

Kifejezdésével, also known as "expressionism," is a movement in art and literature that emerged in the early 20th century, particularly in Germany. It is characterized by its emphasis on subjective interpretation, distortion of form, and use of unconventional color. The movement was a reaction against the naturalism and realism of the late 19th century, seeking to express the inner emotions and experiences of the artist rather than objective reality.

Expressionism originated in Germany and was influenced by the psychological theories of Sigmund Freud and the philosophical ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche. It was a response to the industrialization and urbanization of the time, which led to feelings of alienation and disillusionment. Expressionist artists sought to convey these emotions through their work, often using exaggerated forms, bold colors, and distorted perspectives.

In literature, expressionism is often associated with authors such as Franz Kafka and Georg Trakl. Their works often feature fragmented narratives, stream-of-consciousness writing, and a focus on the inner thoughts and feelings of characters. The movement also had a significant impact on visual arts, with artists like Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Emil Nolde using bold colors and distorted forms to convey their emotions.

Expressionism had a profound influence on 20th-century art and literature, shaping the development of various movements that followed. Its emphasis on subjective interpretation and the exploration of the inner self continues to resonate in contemporary art and literature.
