AI overview
Expressionism is a modernist movement that started in Northern Europe around 1900, primarily in poetry and painting, where artists deliberately distort reality from their personal perspective to create powerful emotional effects. Rather than trying to show the world as it actually looks, Expressionist artists aim to convey the inner feelings and meanings of emotional experience.
