Abstract Expressionism was a post-World War II American art movement developed in New York in the 1940s that expressed the artist's inner feelings through non-representational use of form and color, divided into action painting typified by Pollock and color field painting practiced by Rothko. Pop Art emerged in the 1950s in Britain and United States as a style exploring everyday consumer culture imagery from advertisements, products, celebrities, and comics, with leading artists like Warhol, Rauschenberg, and Lichtenstein.

Abstract Expressionism
The document discusses the Abstract Expressionism movement and three key styles that emerged from New York School artists: action painting, color field painting, and representational works incorporating these styles. It provides examples of paintings by Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Phillip Guston, and others that exemplify action painting, color field painting, and the blending of styles. The movement was the first American art movement to achieve worldwide recognition and put New York at the center of the art world.
Surrealism
The creation of art without conscious control as in intuition and dream experience. An art movement that grew out of dada (dadaism) which shows the imagination of the artist.
Abstract Expressionism
Abstract Expressionism was an American post-World War II art movement between 1946-1960. It was characterized by spontaneous, informal paintings focused on the inner psyche using unconventional techniques like drip and pour to create energetic, dynamic gestures expressing the authentic personal experience rather than conforming to common sense. Key artists included Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, and Lee Krasner.
abstract expressionism
Term "Abstract Expressionism" was first used in Germany in connection with Rusian artist Wassily Kandinsky in 1919 (referencing the German Expressionists with their anti-figurative aesthetic), but later became more commonly associated with Post-WWII American Art.
Surrealism and abstract expressionism
Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism were influential art movements of the early 20th century. Surrealism drew inspiration from dreams and the unconscious mind. It used techniques like collage and photomontage to create bizarre and imaginative works. Leading Surrealists included Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel. Their 1929 film Un Chien Andalou exemplified Surrealist ideals. Abstract Expressionism stressed spontaneity and conveying emotion through abstract gestures and brushstrokes. Pioneers included Jackson Pollock, known for his "drip paintings", Willem de Kooning who used slashing brushstrokes, and Franz Kline who built up thick textures. These styles also influenced Filipino artists
Abstract Expressionism
Lecture 6: The New York School comes of age with the mature work of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. We also discuss the 'second generation' artists such as Joan Mitchell and Morriss Lewis. A strong focus on expressive brushwork, personal emotion and the underlying tenets of existentialist thought is on full display. Clement Greenberg's thoughts on the inherent flatness of the picture plane also exert a strong influence. The work should also be seen in the context of the Cold War and 'soft power'.

Abstract Expressionism was a post-World War II American art movement that originated in New York in the 1940s. It was the first American art movement to gain worldwide recognition and prominence, establishing New York City as the center of the global art world. Abstract Expressionism had two main streams - Action Painting in the late 1940s-1950s, characterized by impulsive, emotional brushwork, and Color Field and Hard-Edge Painting in the early 1960s, focused on large areas of color or geometric shapes. Major artists associated with the movement included Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, and Mark Rothko.

Abstract expressionism-processes-and-materials
Abstract Expressionism was an artistic movement in post-World War II America that featured large-scale abstract paintings using energetic, gestural brushwork. Jackson Pollock, a leading Abstract Expressionist, created the painting One: Number 31 by pouring and dripping commercial paint directly onto unprimed canvases laid on the floor, using an unusual technique that produced dynamic webs of lines. Pollock incorporated unusual found objects like coins and buttons into some of his works. The document encourages readers to analyze Pollock's paintings, experiment with their own abstract collages using cutouts from magazines, and present their creations to classmates.
Abstract expressionism1
Abstract Expressionism was a post-World War II art movement that began in New York in the 1940s and 1950s. Artists used non-traditional techniques like action painting to express themselves freely without a specific subject. Two main concepts were energetic gestures using impulsive brushwork and large fields of color. Major artists included Jackson Pollock, known for his drip technique paintings, Mark Rothko who created emotional color field paintings, Willem de Kooning who painted abstracted figures and landscapes, and Lee Krasner, Pollock's wife. The movement marked a shift to American modern art and freedom of expression.
Arts in the era of modernity
Abstract expressionism developed in New York in the 1940s as an abstract movement influenced by science and new perspectives of space, time, and relativity. It was characterized by geometrical shapes, colors, textures, and least recognizable subjects or pure abstraction. Major artists included Jackson Pollock, known for his drip paintings, and Karel Appel. Cubism, futurism, pop art, op art, installation art, and performing arts like theater and dance were also 20th century art movements that developed new styles influenced by technology, popular culture, and optical illusions.

Action Painting
This document summarizes action painting, a style of abstract expressionism characterized by energetic and expressive application of paint. It was pioneered by artists like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning in the 1940s. While some viewed action paintings as random splatters, the document analyzes works by Joan Mitchell, Jackson Pollock, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Helen Frankenthaler, and Willem de Kooning to show how they demonstrate control and composition despite their gestural styles. It addresses the criticism of whether such works can truly be considered art.
Artistic events
This document summarizes several major artistic movements between 1945 and 1968:
Pop Art emerged in the 1950s in both Great Britain and America, mixing traditional artistic genres like cartoons and photographs with commercial advertising. Informal Art began in post-WWII Europe as artists sought freedom of expression. Nouveau Realism started in the late 1950s in France and aimed to incorporate real-world objects and images into artworks. Poor Art emerged in Italy in the 1960s and focused on everyday subjects and scenes over concepts of representation. Op Art used optical illusions to create abstract works exploring visual effects and colors. Body Art began in the late 1960s using the human body as a canvas for tattoos, piercings, and

Arttimeline
Pop art emerged in mid-1950s Britain as an art movement that presented a challenge to fine art traditions by incorporating imagery from popular culture like advertising. Key early artists included Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton. Pop art sometimes removed cultural objects from their context and combined unrelated elements. Richard Hamilton's collage "Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?" from 1956 is considered one of the earliest works of pop art.
Pop art
Pop Art emerged in the mid-1950s as a rejection of abstract expressionism by young artists who wanted to express optimism after World War II through popular imagery from mass media and consumer culture. Key characteristics of Pop Art included using bright colors and flat imagery inspired by comics and advertisements featuring celebrities and brand logos. Major figures like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein appropriated objects and images from popular culture to hold a mirror up to contemporary society and critique materialism.
Abstractexpressionism
Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York in the 1940s-50s as a rejection of figurative art and European influences. Artists such as Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko, and Kline created large-scale, gestural paintings focused on process over product. They valued spontaneity and improvisation, particularly through techniques like Jackson Pollock's drip painting which placed the viewer within the work. Their emotionally charged abstract works came to represent the post-WWII era and shifted the art world's focus to America.
What is Pop Art?
Pop art emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and late 1950s in the United States as an art movement that employed aspects of mass culture, advertising, comic books, and mundane cultural objects. Key figures included Andy Warhol, who created mass-produced images of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe that explored celebrity culture and advertising, and Roy Lichtenstein and Eduardo Paolozzi, who were early pioneers in adopting the visual languages of advertising and pop culture in their fine art works.

Abstract expressionism
Abstract Expressionism was a post-World War II art movement centered around non-representational and emotionally expressive painting. It was influenced by events like the World Wars and Surrealism. Artists used vibrant colors, expressive brushwork, and basic shapes to express inner emotions and subconscious feelings rather than outward appearances. The movement had two phases - early works used biomorphic shapes while later works included action painting emphasizing process and color-field painting using simple blocks of color. Key artists included Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko, and Kline, each developing signature styles focusing on personal expression, intuition, and the creative act. Critics Greenberg and Rosenberg debated the merits of formalism versus gesture. Abstract Expression
Whitney Riley-Pop Art
Pop Art emerged in the late 1950s in London and was led by artists like Peter Blake, Roy Lichtenstein, Jim Dine, and Andy Warhol. It used imagery from popular culture and everyday commercial products to comment on contemporary society and culture. Pop Art sought to portray elements of culture and advertise or televise them using techniques like photo-realism. By the early 1960s, it had spread to the United States and was popularized by artists who made work that was simple and easy for viewers to identify and understand.
Psychedelic Art Movement
The document discusses psychedelic art of the 1960s. It was born within the hippie subculture in San Francisco and was inspired by psychedelic drug experiences. Key characteristics included bright contrasting colors, optical effects, curvilinear shapes, illegible text, and collage techniques. Notable psychedelic artists mentioned include Victor Moscoso, Wes Wilson, Heinz Edelmann, Marijke Koger, and Keiichi Tanami. They created concert posters and album covers for bands like the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and The Beatles. By the early 1970s, psychedelic art had been commercialized and co-opted by mainstream advertising.
Mid century modern
Mid-Century Modern describes architectural and design developments between 1933 and 1965 that produced an organic offshoot of Modern design known for its casual, carefree style exemplified by Eichler homes. This era is notable for making good design affordable to average homeowners through mass-production of household objects like furniture, clocks, and appliances, led by chief designers who required their work be affordable rather than just for the wealthy elite.
19th century art
The document summarizes four major art movements in the 19th century: Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism. Romanticism featured individualistic and emotionally charged works by artists like Caspar David Friedrich. Realism depicted realistic scenes without idealization, exemplified by Jean-Francois Millet and the Barbizon School. Impressionism was a spontaneous style of painting landscapes in light colors, begun by artists including Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Post-Impressionism encompassed various styles influenced by but diverging from Impressionism, including the emotionally charged works of Paul Gauguin, Paul Cezanne, Vincent

Contemporary art and design
Contemporary art refers to art created in the present period that develops from postmodern art and modern art. Gottfried Helnwein is a favorite contemporary artist who was born in 1948 in Austria. He is a painter, photographer, and installation artist who has won several prizes for his work in various media like painting, drawing, photography, murals, sculpture, and performance art. One of his notable artworks is an oil and acrylic painting from 2009-2013 called The Murmur of the Innocents.
Art nouveau
Art Nouveau was an elegant decorative art style from the late 19th to early 20th century characterized by intricate curved patterns. It originated from the British Arts and Crafts Movement and was popular across Europe and the United States, seen in works by artists like Alphonse Mucha, Aubrey Beardsley, and Gustav Klimt. Art Nouveau influenced painting, sculpture, jewelry, and other crafts until being replaced after World War I by the Art Deco style.
Renaissance
Renaissance art developed in Europe between the 14th and 16th centuries and was influenced by increased interest in nature, classical learning, and individualism. Renaissance art combined classical antiquity traditions with Northern European developments and contemporary scientific knowledge. Examples of Renaissance art include Michelangelo's David statue and Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Last Supper paintings.
Bauhaus
Bauhaus was an influential German art school founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius that combined crafts and fine arts in its teaching and design approach, featuring a signature modernist style blending Expressionism with architecture and design. The school closed under Nazi rule in 1933, forcing many artists to emigrate and spread the Bauhaus style worldwide, including to the United States.
Art deco
Art Deco was a modernist style of art, design, and architecture that used angular geometric forms and emerged in reaction to Art Nouveau in the early 20th century. It is exemplified by iconic 1930s skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building in New York, known for its distinctive angular architecture and considered a prime example of Art Deco design. Well-known artists working in the Art Deco style included Tamara de Lempicka, Erte, Rene Lalique, and Cassandre.
Industrial revolution
The Industrial Revolution had widespread effects as it transformed agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transport, and technology in the late 18th and 19th centuries. A key innovation was the development of the continuous paper making machine. The Fourdrinier machine, named after the British businessmen who financed its development, used a conveyor belt to form a continuous paper web. This improved upon earlier sheet-by-sheet paper making methods and was crucial to large-scale paper production. The Fourdrinier machine was first installed in England in 1803 and helped advance the mass production of paper, with the technology then spreading to the United States in the 1827.
Op art
Optical Art, also known as Op Art, uses repetition of simple forms and colors to create optical illusions and visual effects like moiré patterns, exaggerated depth, and foreground-background confusion. In the mid-20th century, artists like Victor Vasarely, Josef Albers, and M.C. Escher experimented with Optical Art techniques in their abstract works. Then in the 1960s, the term "Op Art" was coined to describe paintings by Vasarely, Bridget Riley, and other abstract artists that used optical illusions to manipulate visual perception.
Islamic
The document summarizes key aspects of Islamic art and architecture. It notes that Islamic art developed intricate arabesque patterns and calligraphy due to restrictions on depicting figures. Arabesques consist of complex geometric and organic designs, while calligraphy features beautifully written Arabic script. The document also discusses Islamic architecture, noting that it encompasses both secular and religious styles across Muslim lands and time periods. Mosques, madrasahs, tombs, and palaces are some of the building types represented in Islamic architecture.
Prehistoric art
Prehistoric art was created by people without a written language and included paintings, drawings, and figurines made starting around 30,000 BC. The emergence of art marked an advancement in early humans' cognitive abilities and helped strengthen social bonds and organize primitive societies by meeting practical needs through activities like dances depicting hunting and work that developed into music.
Minimalism
Minimalism is an abstract art style that uses pared-down design elements and objects stripped down to their elemental, geometric forms presented in an impersonal manner. It began as a reaction against abstract expressionism in post-World War II Western art, strongly emerging in American visual arts in the 1960s-1970s as a form of installation or sculpture using reduced elements by artists like Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin and Sol LeWitt.
De stijl
De Stijl was an artistic movement founded in 1917 in the Netherlands by Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg that promoted abstract and minimalistic geometric forms in art and architecture. The magazine De Stijl became a vehicle for Mondrian's ideas on abstract art, known as neoplasticism, which emphasized primary colors and straight horizontal and vertical lines. While other artists contributed to the movement, Mondrian withdrew in 1923 due to stylistic differences with Van Doesburg, though Van Doesburg continued publishing the magazine until 1931 and the movement influenced later abstract art and modern design.
Baroque&rococo
Baroque art developed in the early 1600s in Europe as a reaction against complex Mannerism, featuring more realistic and emotionally affecting styles. It was encouraged by the Catholic Church and developed by artists like Caravaggio, Bernini, and Carracci. In the 18th century, the more elegant and elaborate Rococo style succeeded Baroque, being most popular in France under King Louis XV and exemplified by artists like Fragonard, Boucher, Watteau, and Tiepolo. Rococo was later replaced by Neoclassicism.
Ancient greek
Ancient Greek art is best preserved through sculpture, architecture, and minor arts like pottery and coin design. Pottery was mostly utilitarian rather than decorative, though trophies from games were exceptions. Architecture did not exist in Greece from 1200 BC until the 7th century, when the Greeks developed three orders - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian - with distinctive proportions and details. The Doric style was sturdy with a plain capital, used in mainland Greece and southern Italy. The Ionic style was thinner and more elegant with a scroll-like capital, found in eastern Greece and islands. The Corinthian style had an elaborate acanthus leaf capital and was seldom used in Greece but often in Rome.

Art history 20th century modern art
Perhaps the most solid background to the creation of abstract art can be dated back to the
modernism abstraction which occurred during the early 20th Century. At the time, abstract art
coded modernism because of its nature to deviate from the mainstream developed and
established forms of art. During the 1960s there was more emergence of abstract expressionism
and this subsequently led to its boom in comparison to the contemporary painting of a hard edge
design. Color field paintings as well as certain sculptures of abstract nature also came into the
picture and were mainly pioneered by critics like Greenberg (Press). Elements like Manet
attracted tremendous contributions at the time to portray the various nuances of pictures and
paintings during that period of time.
