Expressionism was an art movement that began in early 20th-century Germany. It focused on expressing emotions, inner feelings, and psychological states rather than depicting reality accurately. Expressionist artists used bold colors, distorted forms, and exaggerated lines to convey anxiety, passion, or tension. Key figures include Edvard Munch, Egon Schiele, and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and the movement influenced painting, sculpture, literature, and theater.
