After class, chapter 13

Jen was the presenter today, but we didn't print the chops and cylinders like we were told, it was forgotten. Instead there were chocolate kisses. We went over Futurism, Cubism, Dada, Surrealism, Expressionism and photography with exposure experimentation. Surrealism is my favorite because of the fantastical illusions but Dada seems the most interesting in terms of contrast and excitement. Cubism and Futurism are my least favorites because they're the ones i've seen the most of.

The most interesting thing I saw was about the urinal that was put in as a Dadaist sculpture and won.

Question: Why does most expressionist images I've seen have a sad or nostalgic feeling to them?
