Art History

Art History

Abstract expressionism is a 20th century painting style, that features large
scale works and expression of feelings through slashing and active brush
strokes.  It exploded in New York, following World War II.  The war brought
on victory of abstract and expressionistic art and the creation of the first
major original direction in the history of American art.  This movement lasted
about fifteen years.  This form of art was not so much a style as an idea. 
Abstract expressionists were diverse individuals who had little in common,
except what they were against.  Based on the freedom of individual
expression, this art form got its title because, it was abstract and expression. 
Abstract meaning emphasizing shape, colour and line with no recognizable
subject matter.  Expressive meaning stressing emotions and individual
feelings more than design and formalism.  The term Abstract Expressionism
was first used in 1919 to describe certain paintings of Kandinsky and also
found its roots in him.  Artists went off in individual directions and developed
personal styles and techniques.
	Artists from Europe, settled in New York and began teaching.  They
and their students, were the instigators of abstract expressionism.  Although
American Abstract Expressionism, or the New York School, is as diverse as
