Expressionism
"If Expressionism at the moment behaves in an ungainly,
violent manner, its excuse lies in the prevailing conditions it finds...we ourselves have to become barbarians to save the
future of humanity from mankind as it now is. As primitive man, driven by fear of nature, sought refuge within himself, so
we too have to adopt flight from a 'civilization' which is out to devour our souls...[Expressionism is] a tocsin of alarm
given out by all panic-stricken souls." Hermann Bahr
