Expressionism

Distorted forms and harsh color that carry emotion.

Sent with your prompt

Early 1900s Expressionist painting: forms stretched, angular and simplified, with jagged or tilted lines and rough, fast brushstrokes. Harsh, unnatural color in large blocks, with deep cobalt and violet against hot red, orange and acid yellow-green. Heavy dark contour lines, steep or warped perspective, and flat, crowded space that feels tense and unsettled.
