work of art like this or similar to this. This painting is very effective in provoking the emotion of sadness and the feel of darkness (Nazi Germany). I also think that he was effective in creating an abstract expressionist work of art because even though it resembles a skeleton, even though abstract art should not resemble anything actual or imagined, you can also tell that he very passionate, which is conveyed more through action rather than…

During these times, the country was in turmoil and was facing complete isolation from other countries, especially during the end of World War I and the subsequent change in regime, as in The German Empire was transformed into a republic, more specifically the Weimar Republic, would bring Germany to its knees.
