Expressionism

Faces and figures dominate here: seated women, portraits, girls at rest, rendered with the bold color and simplified form of Expressionism. Skin tones push toward yellow, pink, and green, and backgrounds flatten into blocks of mood rather than place. A city view like "View of Dresden: Schlossplatz" by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner breaks the figures with raw, angular streets.
