Expressionist artists created emotional works by distorting forms and applying strong colors rather than realistic images. They worked from their imagination and feelings rather than what they observed. Key movements included Neoprimitivism, Fauvism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and Social Realism which incorporated styles from tribal arts and used vivid colors, dream images, and political messages against injustice. Abstractionism reduced images to geometric shapes, lines and colors while Cubism, Futurism, mechanical style and nonobjectivism depicted recognizable or pure abstract subjects through precise forms.

They did not refer to recognizable objects or forms in the outside world.
