19th century masterpiece
Expressionist art was conceived
in opposition of
Impressionism. The Expressionist craved emotional drama, pure color
and innovation. Modigliani asserted "What I am seeking is not the
real and not the unreal but rather the unconscious, the mystery of the
instinctive in the human race" Expressionist painters look inward at
their own emotions, and less on the outside world. Key
