Existentialist philosophy has a big impact on today’s visual arts. It focuses on personal experiences and how we see reality. Artists like Francis Bacon and Jean-Paul Sartre show feelings of being alone and the weirdness of life. They often paint twisted human shapes and wild scenes.

Main Influences:

• Absurdity: Art that shows life can feel pointless.
• Freedom: Ideas about making personal choices and being true to oneself.
• Isolation: Looking at what it means to be alone in today’s world.

Today’s artists still deal with these ideas, encouraging viewers to think about their own lives and existences.
