экспрессионизм

Generally, any art form concerned mainly with conveying an artist’s emotions. More specifically, the term has come to be used particularly of various movements in later-nineteenth and twentieth century art that used highly distorted and exaggerated forms and colors (including complete abstraction), often in connection with techniques of handling media that emphasize an artist’s physical gestures in drawing or painting. Examples of “expressionistic” painters (in both sense of the term) include (among many others) vincent van gogh, edvard munch, jackson pollock, and francis bacon.
