Expressionism: A Bold New Movement

In the early 1900s, there arose in the Western art world a movement

what their eyes saw in the physical world.

4
  It was a movement in which objective reality was displaced by
subjective emotions, with the consequence that a long-lasting climate
of self-expression spread.

by the surrounding world, but rather to enforce the artist’s own
emotional response to the world’s so as to distinguish its true meaning.
