This comprehensive survey explores the evolution of Expressionism from the nineteenth century to today. Expressionist artists prioritised emotional impact over representational acc uracy, and writer, artist and curator Colin Rhodes traces the development of this radical movement across Europe, the USA, and parts of Africa, Asia and South America. Addressing issues of gender, sexuality, and cultural appropriation, Rhodes challenges traditional art-historical perspectives and reframes Expressionism within a broader contemporary context. Generously illustrated, the book highlights a wide range of artists, from Wassily Kandinsky and Francis Bacon to Gillian Ayres, Purvis Young and Jadé Fadojutimi.
