The biggest topic of discussion is the origin of the movement, which has wavered between the 1960s and 1970s.Neo-Expressionism is widely believed to have been a natural extension of the German Expressionism and Abstract Expressionism movements.
The movement has been described as one that focused on the revitalization of painting through the use of strong colors, as well as objects and symbols that were borrowed from other significant art movements.
What was said to characterize the artworks of Neo-Expressionism was the almost instantaneous return to painting as a primary and natural form of artistry.
After dominating the European and American art markets from the late 1970s until the mid-1980s, Neo-Expressionism declined.While a few of the movement’s leading artists are still included in some exhibitions today, the majority of Neo-Expressionism painters have been largely forgotten about.
