In expressionist art, intense and non-naturalistic colours are frequent. Free-flowing brushwork is common, and there tends to be a generous, highly textured paint application.
Expressionism is directly focused on the emotional response of the artist to the real world, using dispraportionate sizes, odd angles , and painted in vivid and intense colours. Subjects often include fantasy, violence, anxiety and the loss of authenticity and spirituality - lending itself to emotional, sometimes mystical sentiments.
