Synopsis

Movements in Modern Art seriesAccessible introductions to the most important and influential art movements of the twentieth century; Each book includes illustrations of major works from collections around the world; Expert authors write for a general readership The term Abstract Expressionism, though coined by critics and resisted by some of the artists involved, has come to signify the fascinating body of work made by American artists in post-war New York, mainly between 1947 and 1953. Artists including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Barnett Newman, Lee Krasner and Willem de Kooning created large-scale canvases that revitalised contemporary art in America. Although inspired to some extent by the Surrealists and by European abstract painting, Abstract Expressionism was hailed as the first truly American modern art movement, and was in turn to have enormous influence on the activities of artists in Europe. An epilogue explains the critical critical reception of Abstract Expressionism at the time up until the present day in both the United States and abroad.
