Abstract:

Collage techniques are used by expressionist artists to enhance emotional expression and enrich art. Expressionism emphasizes the artist's desire to directly reflect their inner world and collage is used as a tool for this purpose. For this reason, collage and expressionism represent a rich and diverse form of expression in the art world. The main purpose of this research is to understand why expressionist artists use collage and how they express themselves through this technique. An important aspect of this study is how collage is linked to the basic principles and themes of expressionist art. It also explores the cyclical differences and different creative approaches of the representatives of expressionist art. This study examines how the artists of the expressionist art movement found expression and meaning, especially through the use of collage techniques. The collage technique, which is accepted as a universal form of artistic expression, has a special meaning for expressionist artists. This study aims to understand how these two artistic expressions enrich each other by examining the historical development and interaction of collage techniques and expressionism.
