Expressive art is what happens when a canvas decides to howl, laugh and whisper all at once. Forget polished realism: every brushstroke here is a pulse, every colour surge a confession. The goal isn't to show a scene—it's to make you feel it.

Expressionism: A Brief Flashback in Bold Strokes

From the fevered turmoil of Edvard Munch's "The Scream" to Van Gogh's swirling "Starry Night," early 20th-century painters hurled emotion onto linen with reckless grace. German and Nordic trailblazers like Kirchner and Schiele distorted figures into raw nerves. Come the 1940-50s, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko stretched that intensity across abstract horizons—drips, fields of colour, emotions unfiltered.

What Powers an Expressive Painting?

  • Colour at full volume: searing reds, bruised purples, grief-soaked blues.
  • Lines that lunge: slashing marks, frantic gestures, calm ellipses—mood swings on canvas.
  • Emotion > accuracy: figures bend, horizons tilt, perspective yields to feeling.
