Abstract Expressionism, Pop
Art, Op Art
World events in the mid-
20th century immensely
influenced the course of
human life and, with it, the
World War I (1913-1914)
and World War II (1941-
1945), in particular,
shifted the political,
economic, and cultural
world stage away from
Europe and on to the
The New York School
In the 1920s and 1930s,
aspiring young American
painters, sculptors, and
writers sailed to Europe to
expand their horizons.
But during the dark days of
World War II, a reverse
migration brought
European scientists,
architects, and artists to
American shores. New
York, became a haven for
The result was the
establishment of what
came to be known as “The
New York School”—as
opposed to “The School of
Paris” that had been very
influential in
The daring young artists in
this movement succeeded
in creating their own
synthesis of Europe’s
cubist and surrealist
styles. Their style came to
be known as
abstract expressionism.
Action Painting
One form of abstract
expressionism was seen in the
works of Jackson Pollock.
These were created through
what came to be known as
Pollock worked on huge
canvases spread on the
floor, splattering, squirting,
and dribbling paint with
(seemingly) no pre-planned
pattern or design in mind.
The total effect is one of
vitality, creativity, “energy
Pollock’s first
one-man show
in New York in
1943 focused
worldwide
attention on
abstract
expressionism
Autumn Rhythm

Oil on canvas
Color Field Painting
In contrast to the vigorous
gestures of the action
painters, another group of
artists who came to be
known as “color field
painters” used different color
to create their desired
effects. Some of their
works were
huge fields of vibrant
color—as in the
paintings of Mark
Rothko and Barnett
Magenta, Black, Green on Orange Vir Heroicus
Sublimis
Mark Rothko, 1949 Barnett Newman,
Others took the more
intimate “pictograph”
approach, filling the
canvas with repeating
picture fragments or
symbols—as in the works
of Adolph Gottlieb and
Lee Krasner.

After “The New York School”
By the early 1960s, the
momentum of The New York
School slowed down. In
itsplace, a new crop of artists
came on the scene using
lighter treatment and flashes
The movements they
brought about have
come to be called:
1. neo dadaism and pop
art
2. conceptual art
3. op art
Neo dadaism, Pop Art,
Op Art
Like the dadaist
movement that arose
after World War I, the
neodadaism of the
1960s wanted to make
It also made use of
commonplace, trivial, even
nonsensical objects. But
unlike the angry, serious
tone of the original
dadaists, the neo dadaists
seemed to enjoy nonsense
for its own sake and simply
Their works ranged from
paintings, to posters, to
collages, to three-
dimensional “assemblages”
and installations. These
made use of easily
recognizable objects and
images from the emerging
Their inspirations were the
celebrities,
advertisements,
billboards, and comic
strips that were becoming
commonplace at that time.
Hence the term pop (from
“popular”) art emerged.

Roy Lichtenstein (1923-

others, he became a
leading figure in this new

Conceptual Art
As the term implies,
conceptual art was that
which arose in the mind of
the artist, took concrete
form for a time, and then
disappeared (unless it was
Conceptualists questioned
the idea of art as objects
to be
bought and sold. Instead,
they brought their artistic
ideas to life temporarily,
using such
unusual materials as
A key difference between a
conceptual artwork and a
traditional painting or
sculpture is that the
conceptualist’s work often
requires little or no physical
craftsmanship.
Much of the artist’s time
and effort goes into the
concept or idea behind the
work, with the actual
execution then being
relatively quick and simple.
An example is this
One and Three Chairs

and an enlarged copy of a dictionary definition of a chair
Op Art
Another movement that
emerged in the 1960s was
optical art or “op art.” This
was yet another experiment in
visual experience—a form of
“action painting,” with the
In op art, lines, spaces,
and colors were precisely
planned and positioned to
give the illusion of
movement.
As the eye moved over
different segments of the
image, perfectly stable
components appeared to
shift back and forth,
sometimes faster,
sometimes slower as the

Viewers experienced
sensations varying from
discomfort to
disorientation to giddiness.

assess what the students know
or have experienced concerning
installation art and performance

primitive forms of this art
have existed since
prehistoric times.

century and only came to
The installation artist’s
manipulation of space
and materials has also
been called
“environmental art,”
“project art,” and
“temporary art.”
Performance Art
Performance art is a form
of modern art in which the
actions of an individual or a
group at a particular place
and in a particular time
constitute the work. It can
happen
It can be any situation that
involves
four basic elements:
1. time
2. space
3. the performer’s body
4. a relationship between
performer
In Performance Art the performer
himself or herself is the artist
Performance art does include
such activities as theater,
dance, music, mime,
juggling, and gymnastics.
However, the term is usually
reserved for more
unexpected, avantgarde,
and unorthodox activities
The performer himself or
herself is the artist, rather
than an actor playing a
character as in a stage play.
The performance venue may
range from an art gallery or
museum to a theater, café,
The performance itself rarely
follows a traditional story
line or plot. It might be a
series of intimate gestures, a
grand theatrical act, or the
performer remaining totally
still.
It may last for just a few
minutes or extend for
several hours. It may be
based on a written script
or spontaneously
improvised as the
performance
unfolds
