Expressionism: Submitted by - K.Ramesh Kumar - Sanyukta Singh - Vatsal Pant - Kumar Akshay Pallav

Expressionism was a cultural movement that began in Germany in the early 20th century. It sought to express emotional experience and an individual's perspective rather than physical reality. Expressionist works used distortion and exaggeration to convey intense emotion. Expressionism was exhibited through various art forms including painting, literature, theatre, dance, film, architecture, and music. Some notable expressionist artists included Edvard Munch, whose painting The Scream was highly influential, and Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night. Expressionism had a significant influence on early 20th century art and culture before declining in the 1920s.
