 | | Abstract Expressionists were abstract artists because they had been schooled in early modern painting; they were expressionist artists because of their fervent belief in the individual gesture and in the freedom to use any means, including the human figure itself, to convey their intent. | | | Abstract Expressionists synthesized numerous sources from the history of modern painting, including the expressionism of van Gogh, the abstraction of Kandinsky, the saturated colors of Matisse, and the fascination with the unconscious of the surrealists. | | | Abstract Expressionism was the first art movement with joint American and European roots, reflecting the influence of émigré artists - Max Ernst, Matta, Arshile Gorky, and Piet Mondrian, among others - who had fled war-ravaged Europe. |

| | 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. | | | However, many painters, such as Fuller Potter [1], who had produced abstract expressionist work continued to work in that style for many years afterwards extending and expanding its visual and philosophical implication. |

| | Robert Motherwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As an abstract expressionist, his greatest goal was to use the staging of his work to convey to the viewer, the mental and physical engagement of the artist with the canvas. | | | He preferred using the starkness of black acrylic paint as one of the basic elements of his paintings. | | | Robert Motherwell (January 24, 1915 – July 16, 1991) was an Abstract Expressionist painter. |

| | In addition to surrealism, the abstract expressionists were influenced by Kandinsky’s ideas about similarities between abstract art and music and the ability of abstraction to communicate meaning and emotional content. | | | Although abstract expressionism had become widely identified with art in the United States from the 1940s on, in the late 1950s American artists Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns wanted to reopen the dialogue between art and ordinary objects, which the dada movement had begun. | | | But unlike his abstract colleagues, Dubuffet usually focused on the human figure, and drew inspiration from the art of children, the insane, and others whom he saw as free from corrupting cultural influences. |

| | Abstract art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Abstract art is now generally understood to mean art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses shapes and colours in a non-representational or subjective way. | | | However, the idea that the arrangement of shapes and colours is not simply to be understood as design, but as fine art dates from the nineteenth century when photography began to make the illustrative function of visual art obsolete. | | | In the very early 20th century, the term was more often used to describe art, such as Cubist and Futurist art, that does represent the natural world, but does so by capturing something of its immutable intrinsic qualities rather than by imitating its external appearance. |

| | Abstract Expressionism is a form of art in which the artist expresses himself purely through the use of form and color. | | | Abstract Expressionism had a huge impact on the art community, and their influence is seen in the movements that followed. | | | The movement devoted itself to the principles that art is most expressive when a relationship is established between the artist and the spectator. |

| | Rebels: Painters and Poets of the 1950s |
| | While the remaining Abstract Expressionists continued to paint, exhibit frequently, and receive favorable critical attention (not to mention increasing prices for their work), in retrospect it is apparent that by the mid-to-late 1950s, their aesthetic leadership, albeit not their public popularity, was on the wane. | | | The sense of shared interests among the Abstract Expressionists was fortified further when, in May 1950, eighteen artists signed a letter protesting the conservative jury for a forthcoming exhibition of contemporary American art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. | | | Although by the early 1950s most of the Abstract Expressionists had developed their signature styles, Harold Rosenberg's December 1952 essay "The Action Painters," in Art News, nevertheless dispensed additional credibility, for it provided the artists and their patrons the verbal framework with which to articulate the philosophical underpinnings and significance of this new style. |

| | The painters who came to be called ``Abstract Expressionists'' shared a similarity of outlook rather than of style-- an outlook characterized by a spirit of revolt and a belief in freedom of expression. | | | 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. | | | If abstract expressionism was to be thought of as abstract, hard edge painters took out the "abstract" in painting. |

| | Hilton Kramer's Misreading of Abstract Art (Aristos, May 2003) |
| | Abstract Expressionism was decidedly not a culmination of the pictorial tradition of Western painting (though in their reaction against it the postmodernists appeared to act as if it were)--since, prior to the twentieth century, that tradition had always involved depiction, or representation, as the very term pictorial implies. | | | While the abstract pioneers earnestly sought to create meaningful work, they made the mistake of dispensing with the familiar forms of perceptual experience through which meaning is conveyed in painting and sculpture. | | | Despite the superficial resemblance between some Miminalist paintings and those of early abstract painters such as Malevich, their work is worlds apart in intention--so much so that Minimalism should not even be considered an instance of abstraction. |
