The document provides an overview of several key art movements from the 20th century including Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Color Field Painting. Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York in the 1940s-1960s and emphasized spontaneity and emotion through techniques like action painting. Major artists included Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko, and Kline. Pop Art developed in the 1960s and reflected popular culture through images from advertisements, comics, and everyday objects. Andy Warhol was a prominent Pop artist known for silkscreen prints and repetition. Color Field Painting involved large areas of solid color intended for close viewing.
