Art Work of Expressionism

This Painting, Visual Music, by Paul Klee is a great example of Expressionism. In Klee's painting we see him using a variety of colors using red but still using yellows, and then blues fading to blacks. The art of this time period broke away from traditional styles and instead of portraying realistic objects the artists used the themes of the imagination, which allowed the painting to be viewed differently from each person's point of view.

Introduction to Chapter 15

In this blog, the prelude to WWII, I will discuss the causes of WWII and how this was brought upon by WWI. After WWI much of the world was left in ruins. Economy's were devastated, Governments were losing the trust of their people, and millions of civilians and soldiers were killed. It is times like these when cultures require change and governments demand reform. The changes may be for good or bad, but the effects of these changes will be felt for years to come. In this blog I hope to expand your cultural knowledge of the time period between the two World Wars and the reasons how and why some of the most powerful dictators of all time came to power.
