A
19th century masterpiece
Expressionist art was conceived
in opposition of
Impressionism. The Expressionist craved emotional drama, pure color
and innovation. Modigliani asserted "My whole life has been spent
walking by the side of a bottomless chasm, jumping from stone to stone.
Sometimes I try to leave my narrow path and join the swirling mainstream
of life, but I always find myself drawn inexorably back towards the
chasm's edge, and there I shall walk until the day I finally fall into
the abyss." Key
