Expressionist artists in early 20th century music sought to express inner emotions and experiences of being alive rather than physical reality. Key figures included Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg who was associated with the expressionist movement in Germany and developed techniques like Sprechstimme that blended singing with speech. Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, known for his painting "The Scream," was also an important expressionist artist during this period.
