Expressionism Art is an artistic movement originating in the early 20th century, characterized by the artist's aim to express emotional experience rather than physical reality. It emerged as a reaction against Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, with artists seeking to convey subjective interpretations of the world around them. This was achieved through bold use of color, distorted forms, and exaggerated or simplified features, all aimed at evoking an emotional response in the viewer. Expressionist works often depict intense human emotions such as anxiety, fear, despair, or anger, and can be found across a range of mediums including painting, printmaking, sculpture, and film.
