Stylistic conventions associated with expressionist art

Expressionist art presented the world from a subjective point of view. It distorted the world to create an emotional effect. They usually involve intense and jarring colours, distorted lines and non-naturalistic brushwork.

Examples:

Starry Night- Van Gogh
The Bridge- Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Arshile Gorky: The Liver Is the Cock’s Comb
