artistic expression
Art in action
Artistic expression is the communication of ideas, emotions, or experiences through creative work—painting, music, writing, dance, or other art forms.
The phrase often appears in discussions of free speech and censorship, where it carries implicit weight: restricting artistic expression sounds more troubling than restricting art.
