Expressionism
Expressionism was a modernist movement , initially in poetry and painting, originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Expressionist artists sought to express meaning [ 3 ] or emotional experience rather than physical reality. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Expressionism was developed as an avant-garde style before the First World War .
Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch peut être considéré comme le pionnier de l' expressionnisme dans la peinture moderne. Il est très tôt réputé pour son appartenance à une nouvelle époque artistique en Allemagne et en Europe centrale, et son œuvre et son importance sont aujourd'hui reconnues en Europe et dans le monde. Les œuvres de Munch les plus connues sont celles des années 1890, notamment Le Cri . Sa production ultérieure attire toutefois de plus en plus d'attention et semble inspirer tout spécialement les artistes actuels. Edvard Munch est né le 12 décembre 1863 à Løten.

Tableaux d'Otto Dix
Otto Dix qui y a participé en subissait encore le traumatisme quelques années plus tard. Sa vision est assez cauchemardesque. Vus de face, de près, jetant leurs grenades entre les barbelés et les racines, les soldats masqués n'ont plus rien d'humain, tout comme le lieu n'a plus rien de réel, no man's land de la tranchée.
