Abstract Expressionism
description Abstract Expressionism Overview
Abstract Expressionism, emerging in post-World War II America, marked a shift towards large-scale, non-representational art. Artists like Pollock and Rothko emphasized spontaneous gesture and emotional expression over recognizable forms. 'Action painting' (Pollock's drip technique) and Color Field painting (Rothko's large blocks of color) became defining characteristics. This movement established New York as a major art center and influenced subsequent abstract art.
