Expressionist Art is a modern art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily in Europe. It focuses on representing emotional experiences rather than physical reality. Artists often use vivid colors, exaggerated forms, and distorted perspectives to convey feelings of anxiety, fear, or joy. Key figures in this movement include Edvard Munch, known for his iconic painting The Scream, and Wassily Kandinsky, who emphasized the emotional power of color. Expressionism influenced various art forms, including literature and theater, and remains significant in contemporary art discussions.
