Expressionism Art of First Lady Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo by Maame Yaa Adutwum

Call it #ExpressionismArt or #FirstLadyArtChallenge and you will not be far from being right.  The Expressionism Art by Maame Yaa Adutwum has received a lot of commendation, reactions, and divergent views since photos of her artwork hit the internet when it was presented to the First Lady Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo.

What is the definition of expressionism in art? Expressionism refers to art in which the image of reality is distorted in order to make it expressive of the artist’s inner feelings or ideas.

Her Expressionism artwork featured a portrait of First Lady Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo which was one of the artworks from Ghana for the UK Independent Association of Prep School (IAPS) Art Competition in May 2022.
