EXPRESSIONISM CHARACTERISTICS
Expressionist architecture was individualistic and in many ways express aesthetic rules, but it is still useful to develop some criteria which defines it.
• Distortion of form for an emotional effect.
• Subordination of realism to symbolic or stylistic expression of inner experience.
• An underlying effort at achieving the new, original, and visionary.
• abundance of works on paper, and models, with discovery and representations of concepts more important than pragmatic finished products.
• Often hybrid solutions, irreducible to a single concept.
Themes of natural romantic phenomena, such as caves, mountains, lightning, crystal and rock formations. As such it is more mineral and elemental than florid and organic which characterized its close contemporary Art
•Utilizes creative potential of artisan craftsmanship.
•Tendency more towards the gothic than the classical.
