You're Expressionism!
Expressionism was founded by artists who objected
impressionism's shallowness and started to
focus on the emotions and feelings their works
of art held within (in other words, they were
the EMOs of visual arts). Expressionists ceased
to focus on trying to make the pictures look as
real as possible and paid more attention on the
atmosphere; the paintings consisted of bold
colours, violent and intentionally visible
brushstrokes and strong shapes that all
supported the emotional content of the piece.
Expressionism prevailed on its purset during
the late 1800's the the early 1900's, but it's
one of the few art movements that never fully
went away - you can still see strong
expressionist impressions in art made today.
Famous Expressionists: Vincent Van Gogh, Edward

Man, and I thought I'd get Romanticism, since I describe myself as "an old-school, Neo-Romantic Goth". But, I *DO* like Expressionism, especially Expressionist theatre (Alban Berg's Wozzeck, anyone?).
