Glossary Terms
· Abstract Expressionism
. Also known as the New York School. The first major American avant-garde movement, Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York City in the 1940s. The artists produced abstract paintings that expressed their state of mind and that they hoped would strike emotional chords in viewers. The movement developed along two lines: gestural abstraction and chromatic abstraction.
· Action painting
. Also called gestural abstraction. The kind of Abstract Expressionism practiced by Jackson Pollock, in which the emphasis was on the creation process, the artist's gesture in making art. Pollock poured liquid paint in linear webs on his canvases, which he laid out on the floor, thereby physically surrounding himself in the painting during its creation.
· Assemblage
. An artwork constructed from already existing objects.
· Chromatic abstraction
. A kind of Abstract Expressionism that focused on the emotional resonance of color, as exemplified by the work of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko.
· Color field painting
. A variant of Post-Painterly Abstraction in which artists sought to reduce painting to its physical essence by pouring diluted paint onto unprimed canvas, allowing these pigments to soak into the fabric, as exemplified by the work of Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis.
· Conceptual art
. An American avant-garde art movement of the 1960s that asserted that the "artfulness" of art lay in the artist's idea rather than its final expression.
· Deconstruction
. An analytical strategy developed in the late 20th century according to which all cultural "constructs" (art, architecture, and literature) are "texts." People can read these texts in a variety of ways, but they cannot arrive at fixed or uniform meanings. Any interpretation can be valid, and readings differ from time to time, place to place, and person to person. For those employing this approach, deconstruction means destabilizing established meanings and interpretations while encouraging subjectivity and individual differences.
· Earthworks
. An American art form that emerged in the 1960s. Often using the land itself as their material, Environmental ar ...

those employing this approach, deconstruction means
destabilizing established meanings and interpretations while
encouraging subjectivity and individual differences.
· Earthworks
3. . An American art form that emerged in the 1960s. Often using
the land itself as their material, Environmental artists construct
monuments of great scale and minimal form. Permanent or
impermanent, these works transform some section of the
environment, calling attention both to the land itself and to the
hand of the artist. Sometimes referred to as earthworks.
· Environmental art
. An American art form that emerged in the 1960s. Often using
the land itself as their material, Environmental artists construct
monuments of great scale and minimal form. Permanent or
impermanent, these works transform some section of the
environment, calling attention both to the land itself and to the
hand of the artist. Sometimes referred to as earthworks.
· Gestural abstraction
. Also known as action painting. A kind of abstract painting in
which the gesture, or act of painting, is seen as the subject of
art. Its most renowned proponent was Jackson Pollock. See also
Abstract Expressionism.
· Hard-edge painting
. A variant of Post-Painterly Abstraction that rigidly excluded
all reference to gesture, and incorporated smooth knife-edge
geometric forms to express the notion that painting should be
reduced to its visual components.
· Impasto
. A layer of thickly applied pigment.
· Installation
. An artwork that creates an artistic environment in a room or
gallery.
· Minimalism
. A predominantly sculptural American trend of the 1960s
characterized by works featuring a severe reduction of form,
often to single, homogeneous units.
· Neo-Expressionism
. An art movement that emerged in the 1970s and that reflects
the artists' interest in the expressive capability of art, seen
earlier in German Expressionism and Abstract Expressionism.
4. · Performance art
. An American avant-garde art trend of the 1960s that made time
an integral element of art. It produced works in which
movements, gestures, and sounds of persons communicating
with an audience replace physical objects. Documentary
photographs are generally the only evidence remaining after
these events. See also Happenings.
· Photorealism
. A school of painting and sculpture of the 1960s and 1970s that
emphasized producing artworks based on scrupulous fidelity to
optical fact. The Superrealist painters were also called
Photorealists because many used photographs as sources for
their imagery.
· Photorealism
. See Superrealism.
· Pixels
. Shortened form of "picture elements." The tiny boxes that
make up digital images displayed on a computer monitor.
· Pop art
. A term coined by British art critic Lawrence Alloway to refer
to art, first appearing in the 1950s, that incorporated elements
from consumer culture, the mass media, and popular culture,
such as images from motion pictures and advertising.
· Post-Painterly Abstraction
. An American art movement that emerged in the 1960s and was
characterized by a cool, detached rationality emphasizing
tighter pictorial control. See also color field painting and hard-
edge painting.
· Postmodernism
. A reaction against modernist formalism, seen as elitist. Far
more encompassing and accepting than the more rigid confines
of modernist practice, postmodernism offers something for
everyone by accommodating a wide range of styles, subjects,
and formats, from traditional easel painting to installation and
from abstraction to illusionistic scenes. Postmodern art often
includes irony or reveals a self-conscious awareness on the part
5. of the artist of the processes of art making or the workings of
the art world.
· Site-specific art
. Art created for a specific location. See also Environmental art.
· Superrealism
. A school of painting and sculpture of the 1960s and 1970s that
emphasized producing artworks based on scrupulous fidelity to
optical fact. The Superrealist painters were also called
Photorealists because many used photographs as sources for
their imagery.
