Expressionist artists like Edvard Munch and Wassily Kandinsky sought to express subjective feelings rather than depict the external world accurately. Their works often featured anxiety, fear, and alienation, reflecting the tensions of modern society.

The title "Expressionism" was used in 1911 to distinguish a large group of painters who, in the first decade of the 20th century, based their work on the representation of intense emotional states, and rebellion against the oppressive laws of governments, the inhuman regulations of factories, and the infection of cities and human communities. .
