A painting that makes you feel cold just looking at it.
Grimshaw was a specialist at nocturnal scenes and here he captures perfectly the damp chill of an autumnal night, infusing it with a darkly dreamlike, Gothic atmosphere.
3. Mount Fuji in the Autumn by Kanō Tsunenobu (1690)
A different approach to Grimshaw — rather than depicting the scene in its totality, Tsunenobu essentialises the landscape and focusses on a handful of details, barely even outlines.
And it's the perfect example of an unusual architectural style called Expressionism...
This is about architecture — but the story begins with art.
The Scream by Edvard Munch (of which he made several versions) is probably the most famous example of Expressionism in art.
Expressionism was about painting how the world *felt* rather than how it *looked*.
Hence Expressionist art — which first appeared in the 1890s and really came to life in the 1920s — was defined by unnaturally vivid colours and unrealistic shapes.
Everything is dramatic, restless, and colourful.
Art as pure emotion rather than outward appearance.
