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 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 emerged in New York City in the 1940s as artists rapidly applied paint to large canvases in an expressive style, drawing from Surrealist ideas of tapping the unconscious mind. There were two main types: action painting, which emphasized the artist's hand movements and texture, and color field painting, which used broad areas of color. Famous artists like Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still developed techniques like dripping and splattering paint to create emotional, non-representational works focused on the creative process over any subject matter.

Abstract expressionism 2011
Abstract Expressionism was an influential art movement of the mid-20th century that emphasized spontaneity and the personal emotional experience of the artist. There were two major types: action painting, exemplified by Jackson Pollock's drip technique, and color field painting, where artists like Hans Hoffman and Richard Diebenkorn used large areas of color to create a sense of depth. Jackson Pollock was a seminal action painter and is considered the "father" of Abstract Expressionism, which helped establish American art on the global stage for the first time.
Action painting
Abstract Expressionism was a post-World War II art movement where artists focused on the physical act of painting rather than preconceived images. The resulting works were nonrepresentational and explored psychology and subjective states of mind. While modernism brought artistic independence from politics, some critics argued Abstract Expressionism had no social purpose due to its inaccessibility. However, others believe the art's interpretation depends on the viewer and it does not intentionally convey political or ideological messages.
Postmodernism
Postmodernism began as a reaction against modernism in art in the 20th century. It questioned master narratives and ideas of single meanings, instead seeing the viewer as helping determine a work's meaning. It included styles like conceptual art, minimalism, video art, performance art, and installation art. Key artists mentioned include Justin Michael Jenkins, Max Book, and Aydin Aghdashloo. Important works discussed are Roy Lichtenstein's Whaam!, Damien Hirst's Away from the Flock, and Jeff Koons' New Hoover Convertibles. Postmodernism has had influence beyond art and tried to replace ideas of the future with an eternal present.

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

Jackson Pollock
Jackson Pollock was an influential American painter known for pioneering the abstract expressionist action painting style in which paint was dripped and poured onto canvases placed on the floor. Pollock's early works were influenced by Thomas Hart Benton's regionalist style, but he developed his signature drip technique in the 1940s, creating complex, textured compositions without recognizable subjects. Though controversial among critics at the time, Pollock's works now sell for record-breaking prices and he is considered one of the most important American artists of the 20th century for revolutionizing modern art.

· 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.

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, deconstr ...

Abstractionism moved away from realistic depictions toward experimental styles focused on forms, colors, and emotions. Pop art drew inspiration from popular culture, depicting celebrities and advertisements. Abstract expressionism used gestural brushwork and vibrant colors to express emotions. Conceptual art emphasized ideas over finished objects.
Jackson Pollock
Jackson Pollock was an abstract painter best known for his "drip style" of pouring and dripping paint onto canvases laid on the floor. He used sticks, trowels, and knives to apply the paint rather than brushes. Pollock believed painting from all sides by moving around the canvas on the floor allowed him to be "inside" the painting.
