Expressionism is two German movements: Die Brücke (The Bridge) and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). Die Brücke Expressionist artists distort the exterior of people and places to express the interior. On an Expressionist canvas, a scream distorts not just the face but the whole body and even the person’s surroundings. The madness in a war zone or inside an insane asylum would twist the architecture and surrounding environment so that they, too, look “deranged.” Der Blaue Reiter artists strove to depict the spiritual side of life, which led many of them to pure abstraction.
