Modern Expressionism

Origins

Modern Expressionism is a visually intense and emotionally charged style that emerged in the late 20th century. It gained prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, challenging traditional artistic conventions and expressing individualistic and subjective experiences. This style is characterized by its bold and vibrant use of color, energetic brushwork, and distorted or exaggerated forms. It aimed to convey the artist's emotions and psychological states rather than focusing on realistic representation. Modern Expressionism became famous for its ability to evoke strong emotions and create a sense of immediacy and raw energy.
