ARH 151 Chapter 21 Guide
The New York School
• Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York in the mid-20th century.
• The art of the New York School emphasized:
- spontaneity.
- gestural brushstrokes.
- nonobjective imagery.
- fields of intense color.
• Some Abstract Expressionists, like Jackson Pollock, focused on gestural painting methods.
• Other Abstract Expressionists, like Mark Rothko, explored subtle interactions of color.
Jackson Pollock
• Gestural painting method
• “Action painting”
1 - Fig. 21.1 Jackson Pollock at work in his Long Island studio (1950).
2 - Fig. 21.2 Jackson Pollock, One (Number 31, 1950) (1950). Oil and enamel paint on canvas, 8’ 10” x 17’ 5 5/8”.
Joan Mitchell
• Second generation Abstract Expressionist
• Female artist whose gestural painting methods earned her recognition

4 - Joan Mitchell, Bonjour Julie (1971). Birmingham Museum of Art, Birmingham, AL.
Mark Rothko
• Chromatic painting
• “Floating squares of color”
5 - Fig. 21.6 Mark Rothko, Number 22 (1949). Oil on canvas, 117” x 107 1/8”.
6 - Fig. 21.7 Mark Rothko, Black on Grey (1970). Acrylic on canvas, 80 1/4” x 89”.
Post-Painterly Abstraction
• Color field painting & Amorphous shapes (Fig. 21.8)
• Hard-edge painting & shaped canvases (Fig. 21.14)
7 - Fig. 21.8 Helen Frankenthaler, The Bay (1963). Acrylic on canvas, 80 1/4” x 81 3/4”.
8 - Fig. 21.14 Frank Stella, Mas o Menos (More or Less) (1964). Metallic powder in acrylic emulsion on canvas, 118” x 164 1/2”.
Constructed Sculpture
9 - Fig. 21.9 David Smith, Cubi XVIII (1964). Stainless steel.
• Components of constructed sculpture may include materials such as rods, bars, tubes, planks,
dowels, blocks, fabric, wire, thread, glass, plastic, and machined geometric solids .
• David Smith burnished the surface of this constructed steel sculpture, leaving “gestural” marks
reminiscent of Pollock’s signature painting style.
Pop Art
10 - Fig. 21.17 Richard Hamilton, Just What Is It That Makes Today’s Homes So Different, So Appealing? (1956). Collage, 10 1/4”
x 9 3/4”.
• Pop Art relies on universal images of popular culture, such as movie posters, billboards,
magazine and newspaper photographs, and advertisements.
• Through their selections of commonplace and familiar objects, as seen in Richard Hamilton’s
collage, Pop artists challenged commonplace conceptions about the meaning of art.
Robert Rauschenberg
11 - Fig. 21.18 Robert Rauschenberg, The Bed (1955). Combine painting; oil and pencil on pillow, quilt, and sheet on wood
supports. 75 1/4” x 31 1/2” x 6 1/2”.
• Combine paintings blurred the boundaries between painting and sculpture
• Rauschenberg aimed “to bridge the gap between art and life” in his selection of materials and
subject matter
