Expressionism in painting has been around for several centuries and has a very important meaning in the lives of many.

This is partly because people of most ages can be involved and families are brought together by this. Generally a person who displays their dislike for Expressionism in painting may be considered an outcast.

Economic Factors

It is not common practice to associate economics with Expressionism in painting. Generally, Expressionism in painting would be thought to have no effect on our economic situation, but there are in fact some effects.

Environmental Factors

After a three month long research project, I've been able to conclude that Expressionism in painting doesn't negatively effect the environment at all. Expressionism in painting did not seem to result in waste products and couldn't be found in forests, jungles, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc... In fact, Expressionism in painting produced some positive effects on our sweet little nature.

Oh does Expressionism in painting ever influence politics. Last year 5 candidates running for some sort of position used Expressionism in painting as the primary topic of their campaign. A person might think Expressionism in painting would be a bad topic to lead a campaign with, but in fact with the social and environmental impact is has, this topic was able to gain a great number of followers. These 5 candidates went 4 for 5 on winning their positions.

Conclusion

Expressionism in painting seem to be a much more important idea that most give credit for. Next time you see or think of Expressionism in painting, think about what you just read and realize what is really going on. It is likely you under valued Expressionism in painting before, but will now start to give the credited needed and deserved.
