thumb|Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Czardas Dancers, oil on canvas, 1908/1920, [[Kunstmuseum Den Haag]] Expressionism is a modernist movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Northern Europe around the beginning of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas. Expressionist artists have sought to express the meaning of emotional experience rather than physical reality.
