The early 20th century saw the emergence of the expressive art movement, which sought to express the artist's inner feelings and subjective experiences as opposed to objective fact. Expressionism unleashed a raw and visceral language of art with its vibrant colours, deformed forms, and vigorous brushwork that continues to elicit strong emotions and inspire reflection in viewers. Themes of anxiety, alienation, love, fear, and desire were explored by expressionist painters like Edvard Munch, Egon Schiele, and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in an effort to address the human condition with unflinching honesty. The movement began to take shape as a reaction to society's quick changes and the significant psychological effects of industrialisation, urbanisation, and World War I.
The use of strong, vibrant colours to communicate strong emotions is one of the defining characteristics of expressionism paintings. To increase the emotional effect of their original works, artists frequently used non-naturalistic colours that warped reality. The urgency and emotional turmoil that permeated expressionist paintings was also aided by the use of harsh, jagged brushstrokes. It was not limited to a certain aesthetic or method but rather a commitment to sharing the artist's innermost thoughts and feelings. Each artist approached expressionism in their own way, resulting in diverse and compelling bodies of work that reflected their own experiences and viewpoints.
The movement had a profound influence on various artistic disciplines, including literature, theater, film, and architecture. This painting theme and aesthetics were embraced in plays, novels, and films, allowing the movement's emotive power to permeate multiple facets of culture. Though expressionism was initially met with resistance and criticism from traditional art circles, it eventually gained recognition for its groundbreaking contributions to the art world. They continue to resonate with audiences today, reminding us of the universality of human emotions and the complexities of the human psyche.
