| | Abstract expressionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Abstract Expressionism was an American post-World War II art movement. | | | As the first truly original school of painting in America, abstract expressionism demonstrated the vitality and creativity of the country in the post-war years, as well as its need (or ability) to develop an aesthetic sense that was not constrained by the European standards of beauty. | | | Movements which were direct responses to, and rebellions against, abstract expressionism had begun, such as pop art and minimalism. |

| | Abstract Expressionism |
| | Expressionism, in general, describes the artist's philosophical perspective concerning the purpose of their art more than specifically defining their method. | | | If abstract expressionism was to be thought of as abstract, hard edge painters took out the "abstract" in painting. | | | During this time modern paintings were to say the least abstract, and often dealt with the artists psyche and state of mind when the painting was created. |

| | ART OF THE 80'S: Abstract Expressionism |
| | Abstract art has also been known as "nonobjective" and "nonrepresentational" art. | | | Much decorative art can thus be described as abstract, but in normal usage the term refers to 20th century painting and sculpture that abandon the traditional European conception of art as the imitation of nature.... | | | During the 80s, many artists continued to work in various abstract modes— although figurative work in the "New Image" and Neo-Expressionist modes received much more critical attention, there was also the cooler "Neo-Geo" school. |

| | In the wake of Abstract Expressionism, new generations of artists—both American and European—were profoundly marked by the breakthroughs made by the first generation, and went on to create their own important expressions based on, but not imitative of, those who forged the way. | | | Early on, the Abstract Expressionists, in seeking a timeless and powerful subject matter, turned to primitive myth and archaic art for inspiration. | | | For Abstract Expressionists, the authenticity or value of a work lay in its directness and immediacy of expression. |

| | Martin Washburn on the Decline of American Abstract Art -- Logos Spring 2003 |
| | The cost of Abstract Expressionism’s appearing to relate so directly to the public, as if Greenberg’s dictatorship of the aesthetic proletariat had already succeeded, is that it circumvented the reality of the special knowledge, traditions and even the existence of the artistic communities from which painting springs. | | | Abstract Expressionism’s abrupt short-circuiting was due both to the working out of Greenberg’s legacy, and the Faustian bargain the movement made with his theory. | | | Abstract Expressionism, an art movement that barely included women and fielded a massive, violent art with concealed content, eminently belongs to this tradition. |

| | The Abstract Expressionist revolt against traditional artistic styles, technical details and aesthetics led to a spontaneity that is best characterized by the action painting or splatter works of Jackson Pollock. | | | The founding artists of this movement were working in a spirit of revolt and self-exploration that made Abstract Expressionism much more of an outlook or ideal than a stylistic development. | | | This movement had a tremendous impact on 20th Century art and was the first US born movement to impact European art in a substantial way. |

| | The term Abstract Expressionism has also been applied to the work of sculptors such as Herbert Ferber and David Hare. | | | In the late 1940s and early 1950s Jackson Pollock, considered the foremost Abstract Expressionist, placed his canvases on the floor to pour, drip, and splatter paint onto them and to work on them from all sides, which set him apart from the tradition of vertical easel painting. | | | The influence of Surrealists and other artists who fled Europe for New York in the late 1930s and the 1940s was integral to the development of Abstract Expressionism. |

| | Around 1913 he began working on paintings that came to be considered the first totally abstract works in modern art; they made no reference to objects of the physical world and derived their inspiration and titles from music. | | | Both as an artist and as a theorist he played a pivotal role in the development of abstract art. | | | His early paintings were executed in a naturalistic style, but in 1909, after a trip to Paris during which he was highly impressed by the works of the Fauves and postimpressionists, his paintings became more highly colored and loosely organized. |

| | Though Mitchell, too, painted her surroundings in her landscapes, she did not paint outside, as Monet did; her work was done in the confines of her studio, where she relied on her memory to provide her with her scene. | | | In the male-dominated field of Abstract Expressionism -- known best for outsized characters Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning -- Mitchell distinguished herself from the pack not only by virtue of her sex, but also by her paintings' intent. | | | Instead, Mitchell became a painter, perhaps not surprisingly called by one critic a "lyric poet in paint." As evinced by City Landscape, Mitchell's paintings were often characterized by their size and their light, often white, backgrounds. |

| | Deriving their central thesis from Islamic art that representation of the sensual human form was interdicted by the sublime, the new Abstract Expressionists fit neatly into what the American intelligence community desperately needed to rebut Soviet representational propaganda; an art that was highly individualistic but which did not offend the sensibilities of conservative religion. | | | The more Greenberg wrote in promotion of the Abstract Expressionists, and particularly Pollock’s "action painting," which involved dripping paint on the canvas, the more he collected them at minimal prices before he had made them famous. | | | Nelson Rockefeller, whose family created the MoMA, actually referred to Abstract Expressionism as "free enterprise painting." But like so many Rockefeller ventures, it was state supported, so that his own collection of Abstract Expressionist works ended up being worth a considerable fortune. |
