Expressionism

• Expressionism is an art movement that came into being when artists became more concerned with expressing their feeling on an occurrence or object than with creating a photo realistic painting. Expressionism occurred mostly in Germany and sometimes it is called “German Expressionism” instead. Expressionist artists used exaggerated colors, aggressive brush strokes, exaggeration and distortion to paint.
