Description
An Expressionist Dream - but which character is doing the dreaming? Is the feathered femme fatale hatching from the egg, guarding the egg or stealing it from under the dragon's watchful eyes? Or is this simply a gathering of creatures from another consciousness watching our curious behavior. Dreamer and dreamed - which one is which?
Expressionism is an artistic style in which the artist strives to depict the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse within a persons being, rather than to depict objective reality.This can be accomplished using distortion,exaggeration,and the use of fantasy and primitivism. These applications used with traditional or formal elements are often vivid, jarring, violent, and/or dynamic. "In a broader sense Expressionism is one of the main currents of art in the later 19th and the 20th centuries, and its qualities of highly subjective, personal, spontaneous self-expression are typical of a wide range of modern artists and art movements."
