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.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (6 May 1880 – 15 June 1938) was a German expressionist painter and printmaker. He was one of the founders of the artists group Die Brücke or "The Bridge", a key group leading to the foundation of Expressionism in 20th-century art. Wikipedia
