It includes information about expressionism as an artistic movement that was popular in North Europe from 1905-1933, specifically in Germany. It discusses key characteristics of expressionism like the deformation of reality to express emotions subjectively through vivid colors, sharpened forms, and violent brushstrokes often depicting themes of loneliness, misery, and death. Examples of early expressionist artists mentioned include Edvard Munch, James Ensor, Georges Rouault, and the German expressionist groups Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter featuring Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and Paul Klee.
