The movement from art history I chose was Expressionism. Expressionism started and ends in 1905-1920, and it was emerged at the same time in various cities across Germany as a response to fears of a loss of truth and spirituality. The idea of it was to focus on communicating feelings in art. But it was also how artist use techniques that were meant to convey the affected emotional states of the artist reacting to the anxieties of the modern world.
Expressionism connect to my work because in my work I want to convey that emotion that I have inside and be able to input that in my image to show viewers the message I'm welling to come across. but the thing that drawn me to this movement was how much time and hard work the artists put in their work and different technique that they all did. also how they was able to put their story, the message and how their art reflect on them.
The image below is called Mad Woman and made by the artist called Chaim Soutine. Mad Woman was also made in two version using different woman in each of them. In this painting, Chaim use violent brushstrokes and misshape lines to communicate an unnerving tension but he also embodies the essence of the expressionist style that help create, Chaim vision of the inner torment of his sitter, which make his painting being more mysterious. Comparing his work to mine, they both connect in someways because in my art I was try to convey a mysterious vibe but also showing a type of belonging to it.
