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.

Max Carl Friedrich Beckmann (February 12, 1884 – December 27, 1950) was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer. Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement. Wikipedia
