ABSTRACT EXPESSIONISM
Jackson Pollock
Abstract Expressionism was a movement of abstract painting that emerged in New York City during the mid-1940s and attained singular prominence in American art. The term was originally used to describe the work of Arshile Gorky, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock. ... Abstract expressionism presented a broad range of stylistic diversity within its largely, though not exclusively, nonrepresentational framework. Basic to most abstract expressionist painting were the attention paid to surface qualities. ... Some Abstract Expressionist artists were concerned with adopting a peaceful and mystical approach to a purely abstract image. ... Not all work was abstract, nor was all work expressive, but it was generally believed that the spontaneity of the artists approach to their work would draw from and release the creativity of their unconscious minds.
