1. Early Expressionism 1890-1910 Portraying emotion through distorted form and colour

2. Munch, “The Scream” 1893 EARLY EXPRESSIONISM Edvard Munch is know for his emotionally charged images of fear, isolation, and anxiety that greatly influences the German Expressionists. His most famous work, “The Scream” represents the intolerable fear of losing one’s mind.

3. An important precursor of the Expressionism was Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907), who, while working in isolation, developed a completely modern style. She said she was searching for “great simplicity of form,” as she concentrated on single figures: wide-eyed, often nude, self-portraits and portraits of peasants. Was noted for creating groundbreaking images with great intensity. Died during childbirth at the age of 31. Modersohn-Becker, “Self-Portrait” 1906

4. Fauvism Exploding colour 1904-1908

5. Fauvism is the style of les Fauves (French for "the wild beasts"), a short-lived and loose group of early twentieth-century Modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. While Fauvism as a style began around 1900 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only a few years, 1904–1908, and had three exhibitions. The leaders of the movement were Henri Matisse and André Derain. Matisse, “Portrait of Madame Matisse. (The green line)” 1905

9. The influence of Henri Rousseau Henri Julien Felix Rousseau (May 21, 1844 - September 2, 1910) was a French Post-Impressionist painter in the Naive or Primitive manner. He is also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer) after his place of employment. Ridiculed during his life, he came to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality.

10. Symbolism was an artistic and literary movement that thrived in the last decade of the 19 th century. It revolved around fantasy and allowing the artist to let their mind wander deeper into meaning of images to reveal a greater truth or message. Inspiration for Surrealism which followed. Henri Rousseau was a toll collector, turned artist, who had no formal art training. He was mocked for his choices in imagery only when they discovered he had no education in the arts or its history. Rousseau, “The Sleeping Gypsy” 1897

11. Rousseau believed that his fantastic, childlike landscapes – full of strange, lurking animals and tree-sized flowers – were realistic paintings in the academic style. He studied plants and animals at the Paris zoo, but he had clear technical limitations. There was little detail on the stylized foliage and his painting was meticulously finished so no brushwork could be seen. Figures appeared flat, and the scale, proportion, and perspective were all skewed. Rousseau, “The Dream” 1910
