expressing the meaning of expressionism

Expressionism is definitely a dark form of art. It loses all the perfect beauty that is always wanted by artists, but it gives a new beauty. This beauty isn't made with perfect harmonies, in fact, expressionist music loses its melody and key, making notes into a background sound that is gorgeous in its own category.

What I love about expressionist art is that it's all raw emotions conveyed into all art disciplines. I never actually labeled what I like, but I can

definitely see a pattern that I do like expressionist art. I know that expressionist photography is just as brutal as all other forms of expressionist art.

The most famous and recognizable expressionist piece is "The Scream" by Edvard Munch.

The root of the word expressionism is expression. It is clear of the expression shown in "The Scream".

Although Dianne Arbus isn't categorized under expressionist, she was definitely an expressionist photographer. She took photos of people that are ugly or surreal. She was basically known as the "photographer of freaks". She photographed what people didn't want to see.. but that's what made her famous and in her own style. It's clear to see the emotion/expression in her photos.
