Art HistoryExpressionist Art
Expressionist Art is a modernist movement that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by the artist's subjective and emotional response to the world. Artists working in this style sought to convey their inner thoughts and feelings through distorted forms, bold colors, and expressive brushwork. Expressionist art often depicted raw, intense emotions and explored themes of alienation, anxiety, and societal critique. Key figures in Expressionism include Edvard Munch, Egon Schiele, and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.
