I always enjoy your podcasts, Stan and Marshall! The discussions and questions raised are so interesting, and the art examples are great. 10! I like that the exercises you spoke of were limited to 15 minutes, not hard to fit into an evening.Thanks!

Stan and Marshall discuss the importance of understanding expressionism and the purposeful rule breaking that comes with the territory. They both examine the work of notable expressionists like Kandinsky and Mondrian, and share their own personal experiences and opinions on the movement. Marshall also includes a few exercises that can help you discover and implement expressionism in your own work.
