Manifestations of Expressionism in the arts

Summary/Abstract: Expressionism, cradled by Germany, flourished during the so-called "Expressionist Decade" (1910-1920). Its most common socio-cultural precondition is the crisis in the public and moral-ethical consciousness on the eve and during the First World War. It expresses the will to change a generation that grew up with the nightmares of war and the deepening decline of bourgeois-philistine consciousness. Like most modernist trends in art, expressionism uses the provocation of "good taste," the breaking of outdated traditional orders and aesthetic habits. The meaning of the term is derived from "expression" - an expression of feelings, which in the most general sense is the artist's desire to project the torments of his own soul on the depicted object.
