Expressing Feelings: Expressionism in Art

Hi, finally its time for E. And E stands for Expressionism in the world of Art. Four people Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Fritz Bleyl, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Erich Heckel founded it and together they formed the group Die Brücke (The Bridge) in the city of Dresden.

A Little History:
In the early 20th century, Expressionism arose,
A new way of painting, where feelings flowed.
From Germany to Austria, artists sought,
To show their inner world, as they thought.
Expressionism aimed to show how we feel,
In twisted shapes and colors that reel.
With every stroke, every line they drew,
They shared their emotions, raw and true.

Notable Artists:
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, with his bold style,
Captured city life, mile after mile.

Fritz Bleyl and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, they tried,
To paint with passion, no need to hide.

Erich Heckel, his art burned bright,
With fiery colors, shining light.

Edvard Munch, his scream so loud,
Expressed the angst that made him proud.

Every painter, with their vibrant brush,
Painted the world in a passionate rush.

A Poem by me:
In the Expressionist’s world, we find,
A kaleidoscope of feelings, in every kind.
With every stroke, every line they drew,
They shared their hearts, with me and you.

Through their art, we feel,
The joy, the pain, so very real.
In every brushstroke, every hue,
Expressionism paints a world anew.

So let’s explore this world so grand,
In every canvas, let’s take a stand.
For in the beauty of Expressionism’s art,
We find a piece of every heart.

So that’s it. Will see you again with the alphabet F.
