In 1976, Paul Vogt, speaking as a literary historian, expressed his opinion on the question of whether expressionism really existed. He also points out that only a few artists describe themselves as expressionists. In the twentieth century, expressionism showed the essential character of German art and the position of the figures in the context of international artistic developments. Later, expressionism was written about not only as art but also as literature. “Morder, Hoffnug Der Franen” (1910) is the first page and a drawing by Oskar Kokaschka for his drama. In total, it depicts a strong man, who has a tattoo on his back and bushy hair, trampling on a half-naked and bloodied woman. According to the drawing, the guy was going to kill a woman with a knife. Kokoschka wants to recall the violence of war with its unjust and dark side. It is an expressionist drawing because it uses hatching to depict hair, blood, shadow and muscles. He doesn't pay much attention to clothes; however, it emphasizes the emotion in their faces. There is also a dog in the background who is eager to share a piece of the corpse. Whatever Expressionism is, it shows the very essence of German art. About eighty percent of the entire drawing is finished with hatching. Since they use a lot of hatching, he can use ink or charcoal as a medium. Subjectively, this drawing shows different personalities for each character. It would be more effective if there was a cut on the woman's body, one comment said. It would be much better to focus on the subject: bloody violence. “Night” (1918-1920, oil on canvas) was produced during the First World War by Max Beckman. The war led him to search for a new definition of reality, which at first still seemed possible thanks to late expressionism. But he quickly realized that the tired and proven media of expressive distortion were incapable of expressing the reality he had experienced. Eventually he understood that reality cannot be reproduced, it must be created. There are seven people in the drawing, two of whom are victims: a man and a woman. The two victims are punished by an injured soldier and another soldier wearing a service cap. From the painter's perspective, people can see the painful emotion on the male victim's face because he was going to be hanged to death. The victim, a half-naked woman, was burned by two lit candles.
