Norwegian Expressionism
Norwegian Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in Norway in the early 20th century, characterized by vivid colors, exaggerated forms, and a focus on expressing emotion and subjective experience. Artists associated with Norwegian Expressionism often depicted scenes of rural life, folklore, and the natural landscape, infused with a sense of heightened emotional intensity and a rejection of traditional artistic conventions. The movement was influenced by European Expressionism and Symbolism, but also drew on Norwegian folk art and mythology for inspiration. Notable Norwegian Expressionist artists include Edvard Munch, Nikolai Astrup, and Harald Sohlberg.
