German Expressionism led to several art movements, most notably Abstract Expressionism. It influenced artists to prioritize emotional expression and individual perspective, paving the way for the development of modern abstraction. The movement's emphasis on subjective experience and bold use of color also resonated in post-World War II art, shaping the direction of contemporary art practices.
