Kifejezésmódban

Kifejezésmódban, or expressionism, is a modernist movement that originated in the early 20th century, primarily in Germany. It is characterized by a rejection of rationalism and a focus on the inner world of the artist, often using distorted forms and vivid colors to convey emotional experiences. Expressionism sought to express the world of feelings, rather than the world of facts, and it often emphasized the subjective and intuitive aspects of human experience.

The movement was influenced by various artistic trends, including Symbolism, and it had a significant impact on literature, visual arts, music, and theater. In visual arts, Expressionism is known for its use of abstract forms, vivid colors, and distorted perspectives to convey emotional content. In literature, Expressionism is characterized by its emphasis on subjective experience, stream-of-consciousness writing, and the exploration of the unconscious mind.

Some of the key figures associated with Expressionism include artists such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, and Erich Heckel, as well as writers like Franz Kafka, Georg Trakl, and Rainer Maria Rilke. The movement had a profound influence on the development of modern art and literature, and its ideas continue to be explored and debated in contemporary artistic and literary circles.
