It is the tendency of an artist to distort reality for an emotional effect; it is a subjective art form. In short: They are very different, not similar. Impressionism shows the light and color of a subject (landscape etc). Expressionism distorts form and color to express a feeling.

Expressionism is a term used to denote the use of distortion and exaggeration for emotional effect, which first surfaced in the art literature of the early twentieth century. When applied in a stylistic sense, with reference in particular to the use of intense colour, agitated brushstrokes, and disjointed space. Rather than a single style, it was a climate that affected not only the fine arts but also dance, cinema, literature and the theatre.
Expressionism is an artistic style in which the artist attempts to depict not objective reality but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in him. He accomplishes his aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and fantasy and through the vivid, jarring, violent, or dynamic application of formal elements. In a broader sense Expressionism is one of the main currents of art in the later 19th and the 20th centuries, and its qualities of highly subjective, personal, spontaneous self-expression are typical of a wide range of modern artists and art movements.
Unlike Impressionism, its goals were not to reproduce the impression suggested by the surrounding world, but to strongly impose the artist's own sensibility to the world's representation. The expressionist artist substitutes to the visual object reality his own image of this object, which he feels as an accurate representation of its real meaning. The search of harmony and forms is not as important as trying to achieve the highest expression intensity, both from the aesthetic point of view and according to idea and human critics.
Expressionism assessed itself mostly in Germany, in 1910. As an international movement, expressionism has also been thought of as inheriting from certain medieval artforms and, more directly, Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh and the fauvism movement.
The most well known German expressionists are Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Lionel Feininger, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, August Macke, Emil Nolde, Max Pechstein; the Austrian Oskar Kokoschka, the Czech Alfred Kubin and the Norvegian Edvard Munch are also related to this movement. During his stay in Germany, the Russian Kandinsky was also an expressionism addict.

What is the diffirence between primitivisme and impressionism?
Primitivism and Impressionism are distinct art movements with different focuses. Primitivism seeks inspiration from non-Western cultures and emphasizes a return to simpler forms of expression, often idealizing the primitive or the "natural." In contrast, Impressionism, which emerged in the late 19th century, focuses on capturing the effects of light and color in everyday scenes, often through loose brushwork and an emphasis on the momentary experience. While both movements challenge traditional artistic conventions, primitivism looks outward for inspiration, whereas Impressionism concentrates on the immediate visual experience.
When did impressionism as a movement begin to fade out as an intellectual school?
Impressionism began to fade as a dominant intellectual school in the late 19th century, particularly after the 1880s, as artists sought new styles and movements, such as Post-Impressionism and Symbolism. The transition was marked by a shift toward more abstract and expressive forms of art. By the early 20th century, Impressionism had largely been integrated into the broader narrative of modern art, influencing subsequent movements while no longer being seen as a distinct intellectual school.
Who were the five original impressionist painters?
Impressionistic painters from France are: Edgar Degas, Eduard Manet, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley.
