Impressionism - Expressionism: Art at a Turning Point
Works by Impressionist and Expressionist artists draw audiences around the world. This summer, the Nationalgalerie (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin) presents a groundbreaking exhibition comparing the two art movements for the first time.
This comprehensive exhibition will trace the similarities and differences between the two movements and examine their enduring popularity. Over 170 Impressionist and Expressionist masterpieces, chiefly by German and French artists, have been assembled from the collections of the Nationalgalerie and other international museums and will be exhibited in Berlin's Alte Nationalgalerie.
No two other styles were so intensely scrutinized and contrasted during their time as were Impressionism and Expressionism. Attempts to distil the characteristic traits of the 'art of impressions' and the 'art of expressions' led to antithetical juxtapositions. Impressionism, suffused with a uniquely French joie de vivre, was placed in opposition to the existentialist German Expressionism.
