Origins and History
The Neo-Expressionist movement was an important period in the history of contemporary art, emerging in the 1980s as a response to the cool detachment of Minimalism and Conceptual Art. Artists associated with this movement, such as Julian Schnabel and Anselm Kiefer, sought to convey a more emotional and visceral form of expression through their works, which often featured bold, gestural brushstrokes and intense, heavily layered compositions. The movement was characterized by its rejection of the detached, cerebral approach of previous art movements and its embrace of a more subjective, expressive approach. Today, the influence of the Neo-Expressionist movement can still be seen in the work of many Contemporary Artists, who continue to explore the power of emotion and personal experience in their art.

Notable original contemporary World Culture artworks
One of the most iconic contemporary World Culture artworks is "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali, created in 1931. This surrealistic painting features melting clocks, inspired by Einstein’s theory of relativity, and a barren landscape. It is a reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the human condition.
Another well-known artwork is "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Japanese artist Hokusai, from 1830-1833. This woodblock print depicts a massive wave towering over boats, with Mount Fuji in the background. It is a symbol of the power of nature and a representation of the Japanese cultural identity.
Ai Weiwei’s "Sunflower Seeds" installation from 2010 is also a celebrated work of art. It features over 100 million porcelain sunflower seeds scattered across the floor of the Tate Modern in London. This piece comments on the mass production and consumption of goods in China, as well as the individual’s identity within a collective society.
Lastly, Yayoi Kusama’s "Infinity Mirrors" from 2016 is a captivating experience. This installation features a series of mirrored rooms with endless reflections of colorful lights and polka dots. It is a celebration of life and an invitation to experience a sense of infinity and transcendence.
Each of these artworks represents a unique cultural perspective and provokes thought and emotion in the viewer.
