Expressionist Portraits
Expressionist portraits are artworks that aim to convey the emotional intensity and subjective experience of the sitter through distorted, exaggerated, and non-naturalistic forms. These portraits often use bold, vivid colors, dynamic brushstrokes, and abstracted shapes to evoke a sense of inner turmoil or heightened emotion. Expressionist artists prioritize conveying the psychological state of the subject over realistic representation, resulting in portraits that are highly charged and emotionally expressive.
