The Expressionist movement utilised striking contrast and colour to convey strong emotions. Kathe Kollwitz's work (above) was about maternal loss and she used the relatively simple medium of lino print to produce her powerful images. The changing moods of the clowns in George Rouault's work (below) is expressed as much through the mark making as the colours.
Takahiro Kimura's paintings and drawings (below) use multiple imagery to show our ever changing moods in a surprisingly subtle way.
John Stezaker's collages of old film star images (below) may seem simple at first glance, but matching the images takes great skills and hours of work.
Zach Johnson's work shows that mood isn't just expressed through the face. Our bodies strongly show emotion. He embellishes his images with explosive mark making to emphasise this.
