Responses will vary depending on the selection of artwork. Broadly, Expressionism arose as artists came to believe that the fundamental purpose of art was to express their intense feelings toward the world. The movement developed in Germany where the expressive idea had its greatest influence. Two Expressionist groups that emerged were Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter. The former's intense arbitrary colors and wavering lines link it to Fauvism and Munch; the latter was organized by Vasili Kandinsky, who employed the same bright colors and mystical themes. Die Brücke believed that through their art they would build a bridge to an enlightened future, whereas Der Blaue Reiter sought to eliminate subject matter and employ a nonrepresentational style to communicate a formal language of line, form, and color.
