An artist or writer who practices expressionism, a style focusing on emotional experience over physical reality.
From 'expression' plus '-ist' (one who practices). Originally applied to early 20th-century European art movements.
German Expressionists like Edvard Munch painted screaming distorted faces to show inner anxiety—they flipped art's mission from 'show what you see' to 'show what you feel.' It revolutionized how we think about artistic truth.
