THE HISTORY BEHIND THE MOVEMENT
Expressionism emerged as an 'avant-garde movement' in painting before the World War I
The movement primarily originated in Germany and Austria
Expressionism gained significance between 1905 and 1918 during a politically and culturally turbulent era of revelation of the profoundly problematic conditions of the turn-of-the-century Europe.
