Ludwig Meidner (1884 - 1966) was described as "the most Expressionist of the Expressionists", and painted Mein Nachtgesicht in 1913. Alongside this a number of paintings all joined by an apocalyptic theme all seem to be ominous in the days preceding the First World War. Artists in Germany from this period on until the Second World War are influenced in one way due to the political and econimcal situation. A mixture of optimisism, and pesimism are apparent, with romanticism turning quickly into despair and sadnesses in some fronts.
