In the tension between societal conservatism and advancing industrialization, the movement of Expressionism emerges in the German-speaking world at the beginning of the 20th century. The rebellion against bourgeois norms manifests in art as a visual revolt. Artist communities such as Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter establish a visual language that, unlike purely representational arts, places subjective sensation at its center. Through heightened colors and abstract forms, reality is depicted as an individual experience.
