Impressionism was an art movement of the 19th century, which began as a private association of Paris-based artists who exhibited publicly in 1874.

It depends what you define as Expressionist art. But surely In Germany Expressionism started very early circa 1908 in two art groups: Die Brücke (The Bridge) in Berlin and Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider) in München. Important German artists in Die Brücke were Kirchner, Heckel and Schmidt Rotluff. Artists of Blaue Reiter were more international: Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Paul Klee, Jawlensky, Gabriele Münter and Marianne von Werefkin.

But in France in the same period there was another form of Expressionism, the Fauves, initiated by Matisse circa 1908, with artists as De Vlaeminck, Derain and Marquet. It was more aesthetic Expressionism, you can say, but it was welcomed by the Brücke artists very enthusiastically.
