Expressionism painting is a represented distortion
of reality resulting on an emotional effect. It can often implies
emotional angst. Emotion is a neural impulse that moves an organism to action. Emotion is differentiated from feeling. Painters such as El Greco or Matthias Grünewald can be called expressionist, but in practice, the term is applied only to 20th century works. |

At the end of the 20th century, a group of artists in the South America developed a style known as Southern expressionism. |
