Rotating House — Paul Klee

Expressionism

What to look for

Expressionism: clashing, unnatural colour, distorted bodies and faces, rough, agitated brushwork and an anxious mood; Fauvism uses colour just as freely but is joyful rather than tense.

Paul Klee (18 December 1879 – 29 June 1940) was a Swiss-born German artist. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. Wikipedia
