German Expressionism

  8. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Street, Berlin. 1913. German Expressionism: The Bridge. The Bridge appealed to artists to revolt against academic painting and establish a new, vigorous aesthetic that would form a bridge between the Germanic past and modern experience.

  9. Wassily Kandinsky. Blue Mountain. 1908–1909. German Expressionism: The Blue Rider The Blue Rider wanted to develop an art that would turn people away from false values toward spiritual rejuvenation. Thought that paintings should be “exact replicas of some inner emotion.” Kandinsky hoped to create art only in response to what he called “inner necessity” or the emotional stirrings of the soul, rather than in response to what he saw in the world.
