*** About Expressionism: Expressionism emerged in the early 20th century as an avant-garde movement that sought to convey subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in the artist. This art form is marked by the use of vivid colors, exaggerated forms, and dramatic, sometimes distorted imagery. It arose as a reaction to the positivist philosophies and the often staid and materialistic style of realism. For Expressionists, the art was a tool not for reproducing the outward appearance of things but for capturing the artist’s personal, internal experience of the world around them.
