Artists Expressionism refers to a modernist movement in art that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by a subjective and emotional response to the world. Artists working in this style sought to express their inner feelings and emotions rather than represent the external reality. Bold colors, distorted forms, and exaggerated gestures are common features of Expressionist art, which often conveys a sense of anxiety, alienation, and unease. Major figures associated with Expressionism include Edvard Munch, Egon Schiele, and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.
