Expressionism is a form of subjective art in which the artist has the propensity to twist reality for a desire emotional effect. This kind of art has already displayed in several art forms such as music, painting, theatre, film, literature and even architecture. Expressionism often involves emotional anguish and torment.

This art practice is not limited only during the 20th century even though the word pertains to the recent 20th century artworks. The term “Expressionism” may have been used often as a reference. But there was no separate movement for such form of art. Expressionism is usually correlated to graphic works and paintings in Germany early in the century. This form of art has challenged academic behaviour in Germany particularly the Der Blaue Reiter and Die Brücke groups.
Here are some of the leading visual artists of the movement during the 20th century: [The list courtesy of Wikipedia]
