Question

1. which artistic style seeks to express emotional experience over external impressions, influencing delacroix’s work?

a. abstract expressionism

b. neoclassicism

Explanation:

• Option a: Abstract Expressionism is a post - World War II art movement, and Delacroix was a 19th - century artist, so this is not correct.
• Option b: Neoclassicism emphasizes classical forms, order, and rationality, not emotional experience over external impressions, so this is incorrect.
• Option c: Expressionism focuses on expressing emotional experience rather than depicting external reality accurately. Delacroix's work (a precursor to later expressionist tendencies) was influenced by this kind of focus on emotion.
• Option d: Baroque is characterized by grandeur, drama, and elaborate ornamentation, not primarily about expressing emotional experience over external impressions in the way described.

Answer:

c. Expressionism
