Abstract Expressionism

Abstract Expressionism

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM

Abstract expressionism was a new and exciting movement.  It evolved during the beginning of World War II when a group of artists decided that it was impossible to paint the normal still lifes and nudes of the times.  The artists of this movement were opposed to all forms of social realism and wanted to explore their intellectual thought through their art.  There were two main types of art produced during this time.  Although the artists of this movement were a diverse group, they shared similarities in their technique.  Gestural painting or action painting was popular at this time.  This is a form of technique where the artist moves with the paint and can feel “in the painting.”  The other type of paintings produced were Color Field paintings.  These consisted with an abstract statement in terms of a large color shape or area.  Three great artists of this movement include Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb.
