The document discusses the Expressionist art movement in Germany in the early 20th century. It was a reaction against Impressionism and sought to portray inner experiences rather than outer reality. Two main groups led the movement: Die Brücke focused on everyday subjects depicted roughly, while Der Blaue Reiter had a more spiritual orientation and incorporated symbols from primitive art and music into their works. Expressionism was a realistic style that put the artist's inner ideas and moods above technique or conventional beauty.
