Not unlike when people in the 1990s were afraid that computers were going to stop working when the 2000s came, a lot of people at the end of the 19th century felt anxiety about the uncertainty of turning over into the 20th century. A group of artists that became associated with the Expressionism movement, tried to\u00a0<em>express\u00a0<\/em>or capture these feelings of uncertainty through swirling, exaggerated brushstrokes or jarring and violent lines and combinations of colors. One of the most famous paintings from early on in this movement is <em>The Scream<\/em> by Edvard Munch (1893). In\u00a0<em>The Scream,\u00a0<\/em>the blood-red color of the sky, the dizzying bands of color, and the distorted screaming figure create a sense of intense anxiety and unease.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1170\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1170\" style=\"width: 453px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/04\/2005.3.1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1170\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1170\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/04\/2005.3.1.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Building&quot; by Roger Herman\" width=\"453\" height=\"603\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1170\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roger Herman, &#8220;Building&#8221;, Oil on Canvas, 1996- Herman&#8217;s work can be described as &#8220;Neo-Expressionist&#8221; referring to the movement that emerged during the 80s which returned to expressive colors and recognizable forms as a reaction to the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/2015\/11\/30\/contemporary-art-vs-modern-art\/\">modern<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/2015\/12\/21\/minimalism-final\/\">minimalist<\/a> movements before it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Expressionism was an extremely important movement because it worked to change the purpose and standards of art for the rest of art history. Rather than trying to accurately\u00a0represent the world, as artists had been doing since the Renaissance, Expressionist artists sought to express\u00a0their subjective inner emotions, fantasies, or thoughts independent from &#8220;reality&#8221;. In this way, Expressionism can be seen as a rejection of the Impressionism movement that came before it and a precursor to Abstract art. The difference between Expressionism and Abstract art is that expressionistic art does not necessarily abandon all figural or representational elements, although it can use elements of abstraction, or &#8220;weak abstraction,&#8221; to create an emotional effect. Expressionism that is fully abstract, or exhibits &#8220;strong abstraction&#8221; (meaning that it no longer bears any resemblance to anything in the outside world and is completely generated by the artist&#8217;s imagination) is called Abstract Expressionism and was an artistic movement during the 1940s&#8230; but that&#8217;s a whole other story!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1816\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1816\" style=\"width: 498px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.9.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1816\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1816\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.9.jpg\" alt=\"At Miss Webb's, by Hassel Smith\" width=\"498\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.9.jpg 1681w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.9-295x300.jpg 295w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.9-1007x1024.jpg 1007w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.9-768x781.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.9-1510x1536.jpg 1510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1816\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of Abstract Expressionism: Hassel Smith &#8220;At Miss Webb&#8217;s,&#8221; Oil on Canvas, 1963<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The works of the artists during the Expressionism movement are extremely varied in color, subject-matter, and painting style. There were even several different movements within the Expressionism movement that had different goals and artists. So although Expressionism is used to describe an artistic movement, it is really\u00a0more of a general term used to describe a style of art that exists in today&#8217;s art world as much as it did in the 19th century. \u00a0The term &#8220;expressionism&#8221; is used to refer to artworks that place a particular emphasis on emotional content. In expressionistic works, strong emotion can be conveyed either thematically or through means\u00a0of technique and medium.\u00a0This is similar to how there was an Abstract Art movement, but we use the term &#8220;abstract&#8221; to describe all kinds of works of art from a range of different time periods.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1506\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1506\" style=\"width: 518px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/09\/2005.1.1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1506\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1506\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/09\/2005.1.1.jpg\" alt=\"Lluvia, by Victor Hugo Zayas\" width=\"518\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/09\/2005.1.1.jpg 2312w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/09\/2005.1.1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/09\/2005.1.1-1024x1020.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/09\/2005.1.1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/09\/2005.1.1-768x765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/09\/2005.1.1-1536x1531.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/09\/2005.1.1-2048x2041.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/2015\/11\/16\/from-sanskrit-to-art\/\">Victor Hugo Zayas<\/a>, Lluvia.
