Expressionism
Expressionism is a modernist movement in art, literature, and music that sought to express the emotional experience of the artist rather than an objective representation of reality. Characterized by bold colors, distorted shapes, and exaggerated forms, expressionist works often convey a sense of anxiety, alienation, and inner turmoil. The movement emerged in the early 20th century as a reaction against the perceived superficiality and materialism of society, and sought to explore the deeper, more primal aspects of human existence. Key figures in expressionism include artists like Edvard Munch, Wassily Kandinsky, and Egon Schiele, whose works continue to influence artists today.
