Which early 20th-century art movement, associated with groups like Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter, sought to express emotional experience rather than physical reality?

Expressionism

Expressionist artists used distorted shapes and jarring, non-naturalistic colors to convey feelings of anxiety, alienation, or passion. Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' is the quintessential image of this movement, representing the internal psychological 'cry' of the modern human.
