The expressionist style is said to have originated with Vincent Van Gogh, before becoming a prominent style in the 20th century. Expressionistic artists typically distort the image of reality through non-naturalistic and highly intense or vivid use of colour. Brushstrokes are also a lot looser and the application of paint can be heavy to create texture.

This freer method allowed artists to create art works infused with a sense of immediacy and pure expression of emotion, leading to the term expressionist.

In contrast, collage is considered a rather controlled and thought out method of creating art as you have to cut out and hand pick objects or scraps of material. However, Dada artists created a form of chance collage, whereby scraps of paper and cut outs were thrown onto a piece of paper to create the end result. Additionally, artists can make up an image by collaging loose shapes and lines, to create a sense of emotional expression and sense of immediacy.
