Flemish Expressionism

Flemish Expressionism is an art movement from Belgium in the early 20th century that emphasizes intense emotion and personal perspective. Artists used bold colors, dramatic brushwork, and distorted forms to convey feelings and inner experiences rather than realistic representations. Influenced by Post-Impressionism and Symbolism, Flemish Expressionists sought to evoke mood and psychological depth, often depicting themes of existential angst, spirituality, and social critique. The movement reflects a focus on individual expression and emotional depth, bridging traditional Flemish techniques with innovative, expressive styles.
