Expressionism
is the tendency of an artist to distort reality for an emotional
effect; it is a subjective art form. Expressionism is exhibited in
many art forms, including painting, literature, film, architecture
and music. Additionally, the term often implies emotional angst ?
the number of cheerful expressionist works is relatively small.
In this general sense, painters such as Matthias Grünewald and El
Greco can be called expressionist, though in practice, the term is
applied mainly to 20th century works.
