Art history

Unlike Impressionism, German Expressionism "is not a name for a definite group of people with a common artistic direction. Rather, it is a term used to indicate a permanent tendency in art - particularly during the period 1910-20," which was sub-divided into Die Brucke and the Blaue Reiter. (Expressionism)

The leading expressionists of the Die Brucke group (founded in 1905) reflected intense emotions thereby leaving greater impact on the human psychology with short and wild brushwork, dazzling colors, feeling of subjugation, straight, well defined lines and blatant, vehement combination of colors with the entire works by German artists wrapped in palpable simplicity and elegance (Expressionism).

Apart from Max Beckman, James Ensor, Emil Nolde, Chaim Soutine and Kirchner, the marvelous painter that received inspiration from Van Gogh's style of painting and left the strongest impression of his expression on German paintings was Edward Munch (1863-1944) (Expressionism). The Norwegian painter is considered to be one of the founder members of the Expressionism due to his considerable role both as a German expressionist and as a graphic designer, whose graphical form of substantial works has taken an edge over his paintings. Fundamental thesis revolved around the universally accepted emotions of immense force and originality related to love and death (Expressionism).

In conclusion, Edward Munch, the founder of the Expressionist Movement made a sizeable contribution to the absolutely intricate and highly sentimental world of art and expression (Edward). The remaining half of his successful painting career saw a shift from the Symbolism to closer-to-reality themes complimenting the existence of picturesque beauty of nature, sun, earth, landscapes, moon and air with simple lines and daring strokes full of color. (Edward)

One of the ways that scholars have seen Ozdamar as collapsing preexisting cultural boundaries is through a meandering picaresque novelistic structure. Indeed, Monika Shafi argues that Ozdamar "borrows from the comic and picaresque traditions [using] a theatrical, performance-based approach to identity and interaction." Shafi's reading prompts one to acknowledge the 1960s cultural climate in which Ozdamar wrote. Specifically, she wrote at a time in which the theatrical writings of leftist intellectuals

After unification, Germany's trade surplus shrank for several years, yet West Germany had shown a dramatically high trade surplus during the late 1980's and into the early 1990's, reaching almost $80 billion U.S. dollars in 1988; by 1991, a united Germany showed a much lower surplus.

Another barrier to the development of a unified German national identity in the 19th century was a strong sense of regionalism and patriotism on the local level. This was particularly true in the southern German states, which had benefited enormously from Germany's re-ordering by the Napoleonic forces. This resulted in many conflicts between nationalists (who typically belonged to the larger German states) and regionalists (who typically belonged to the smaller, southern

Germans, Post World War 2 Evil, German attitudes through the Twentieth Century, and humanity The Second World War has had a terrible impact on society as a whole and it is safe to say that it shaped the way that people perceived the idea of being human and of life in general.
