<br/><br/> Expressionism is an artistic movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily in Germany. Characterized by a focus on representing emotional experience rather than physical reality, Expressionism sought to convey the artist's subjective perspective. Artists used bold colors, exaggerated forms, and distorted perspectives to express feelings and mood. The movement was a reaction against the conventional standards of realism in art and explored themes of angst, alienation, and the human condition. Notable figures include Edvard Munch, Wassily Kandinsky, Egon Schiele, and Emil Nolde. Expressionism influenced various art forms, including literature, theater, and film, and laid groundwork for subsequent movements like Abstract Expressionism.
