Expressionism Inner reality (a person’s thoughts or feelings) are more important than the “objective” reality outside the person. The response of the person is more important than the object or the situation that causes the response.

Often portray this inner reality with symbolic characters that are exaggerated and distorted, nightmare-ish and full of fantasy.

Surrealism Super-realism Stressed the power of the imagination and dreams over conscious control

Objects are depicted as they could never appear in reality.

Existentialism People are created by their experiences The action of making choices gives meaning to life Many existentialists did not believe in God but felt humans made their own choices
