Abstract

The article tries to get a grasp of the Balkan expressionism movement that emerges in nowadays society. As it gets through the society, the artists render in their works the reality of life focusing on the problems that arise in society. As they offer poignant data on the society, they strive to achieve art that is representative for the Balkan area. More than any other human being, the artist is imprint by the influence of his surroundings to which he manages to manifest in a dissociative manner. He is imposing himself in society by the liberty to keep in balance and sometimes pendent certain impressions and the capacity to impose new correlations. The Balkan Expressionism Movement is just at its beginning. Time will tell whether this artistic movement will impact universal art as the previous art movements did.
