"This handy introductory text is a clear and focused account of the diverse range of modernist cultural practice that is normally grouped under the banner of 'Expressionism'." Dorothy Rowe, University of Surrey, Roehampton "This handy introductory text is a clear and focused account of the diverse range of modernist cultural practice that is normally grouped under the banner of 'Expressionism'. Behr delineates the origins, meanings and historiography of the term before going on to provide a thematically structured approach to the art and artists commonly associated with it. A particular strength of the book is the inclusion of references to primary material not normally included in introductory texts of this nature as well as an extensive "...part of an interesting series that has some strengths and weaknesses for school use. It's handy to have art books that are so thin and easy to handle." Kliatt
