MEANING & PRONUNCIATION

der Expressionismus

Expressionism (an artistic movement emerging in the early 20th century, often using distortion and strong colors to express inner feelings)

IN CONTEXT

Mit dem Expressionismus konnte ich wenig anfangen, bis mir eine Führung zeigte, wie bewusst die verzerrten Formen vertraute Sehgewohnheiten aufbrechen.

Expressionism did little for me until a guided tour showed me how deliberately its distorted forms challenge familiar ways of seeing.
