Art History Museums
Expressionism is a modern art movement characterized by the artists' desire to express their emotions and internal experiences rather than creating an accurate depiction of external reality. Originating in Germany at the turn of the 20th century, this style sought to convey subjective interpretations of the world through exaggerated forms, bold colors, and distorted perspectives. Expressionist works often reflect a sense of anxiety, aggression, or spirituality, as artists aimed to explore their inner worlds and communicate their personal feelings to the viewer. This movement had a profound impact on art museums, shaping modern art collections worldwide and inspiring future generations of artists to embrace subjective expression in their work.
