German expressionism started right before World War I, when Germany was in a state of isolation, so German creativity during that time was acted out essentially in a vacuum. Some of the great German expressionist films to come out of that era were "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," "Nosferatu," and "The Last Laugh."

It started with James Ensor and a painting called 'Christ's Entry into Brussels' painted in 1888. Next Edvard Munch does 'The Scream' in 1893. Two groups also form in this period in Germany, Die Brücke (The Bridge) and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) groups whose work continues into the 1920's. Emil Nolde is another driving force with works done circa 1912. One could argue that the movement hasn't ever really ended.

You are misinformed, I don't like expressionism, its presentation of the world solely from a subjective perspective does not evoke moods or ideas for me.
Jump to: navigation, searchExpressionism is the tendency of an artist to distort reality for an emotional effect; it is a subjective art form. Expressionism is exhibited in many art forms, including painting, literature, theatre, film, architecture and music. The term often implies emotional angst. In a general sense, painters such as Matthias Grünewald and El Greco can be called expressionist, though in practice, the term is applied mainly to 20th century works.
German Expressionism was part of the larger European Expressionist movements. It began before World War I in the early 20th century. Many of the German Expressionist creations are still popular today.
