I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'moving' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'expressionist artist's content to get' is the wordplay.
'to get' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'got' mean this).
'START' is hidden within 'expressionist artists content'.

'things' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for start that I've seen before include "get under way" , "Begin with sudden movement of surprise" , "Commencement" , "Jump suddenly" , "Beginning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
