Abstract Expressionism

Barbara Hess, 2016

Overview

Abstract Expressionism, an American art movement that emerged in the 1940s, utilized non-representational paint for personal expression. Inspired by Arshile Gorky, it became the first art movement from the Americas to achieve global influence. The movement branched into distinct styles: action painting, exemplified by artists like Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock, and color field painting, famously represented by Mark Rothko. Abstract Expressionists aimed to convey emotions and ideas directly through color, form, and texture, embracing chance and the act of creation itself.
