Expressionism was a modernist movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century.

Historically, the word was used pejoratively to characterise the Protestant group as extremists, similar to the Cathars of France and, according to Thomas Fuller in his Church History, dated back to...
