Expressionism

Expressionism in art is best described by the fact that emotion plays the main role, often expressed through bold, distorted forms and vivid colors. Artists in this genre focused on conveying their inner feelings rather than on representing just the external world. Expressionist paintings are raw and sometimes unsettling but always deeply personal. It came into existence in the early 20th century as a response to the anxieties of modern life. Artists explored feelings of alienation, fear, and passion of those times. If you find that art is a bit unconventional in beauty and also a deep exploration of humanness, Expressionism will give you a strong and thought-provoking collection.
