The aesthetic development of the movement can be traced to the Saxon Worpswede Group & the Parisian Fauvist movement. It was also influenced by Van Gogh's pioneering expressionist paintings like Wheatfield with Crows, and Starry, Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
#GEPs typically distort color, scale & space to convey their subjective interpretation abt the objects/scenes they painted. WWI had a huge impact, so 1915 onwards, #GE became a bitter protest move’t as well as a style of modern art.
