Expressionism and Abstraction: Radical Experiments in Form (2 in 1)

This book is a bundle with two books in it:

- Expressionism: Expressionism is a powerful and transformative movement in art that emphasizes the expression of emotional and psychological experience over the accurate representation of the external world. Emerging in the early 20th century, Expressionism arose as a reaction against the rationalism and order of previous artistic traditions, particularly during a time of intense societal change, industrialization, and political upheaval. Artists sought to capture raw emotion, personal perception, and the turmoil of modern life rather than focusing on realistic depictions. This movement profoundly shaped a range of creative disciplines, including visual arts, literature, theatre, and cinema.

- Abstract Expressionism: Abstract Expressionism, a revolutionary movement in modern art, emerged in the late 1940s and 1950s in New York City, marking a significant shift in the direction of art during the post-World War II era. It was a radical departure from traditional forms of art that focused on representational imagery and structured compositions. Abstract Expressionism broke away from conventional norms, embracing abstraction as a means to convey emotion, personal expression, and the exploration of the subconscious. This new form of art aimed to tap into deep, universal experiences and emotions, rather than depict reality in a literal or figurative manner.
