The Stylistic Grammar of Expressionism

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the re-conceptualized notions of Expressionism, as a modernism movement extended in literature, painting, and film from an aesthetic point of view. Works from a range of genres will be taken as a case study and figures as diverse as Kafka, Kandinsky or Emil Nolde will be embraced, as well as some of the main manifestos and critical statements regarding Expressionism. Thus, after a survey of ideas about beauty and related concepts, questions about the value of aesthetic experience and the variety of aesthetic attitudes will be addressed.
