ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISMAbstract ExpressionismThe first truly American visual art form that helped put New York as a cultural capital (perhaps even above Paris).Drawing from Surrealism, they developed the NEW YORK SCHOOL, which comprised action painting, Jazz, abstract expressionism and improvisional theatre.This period of art was special because it was the first to recognize art with NO identifiable subject matter!Jackson Pollock, No. 5, 1948, 1948.ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISMTwo Categories for Abstract Expressionism:Action PaintingColor-Field PaintingABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISMJackson PollockAffected by surrealism and also by Picasso, he moved toward a highly abstract art in order to express, rather than illustrate, feeling.His experimentations led to the development of his famous "drip" technique, in which he energetically drew or "dripped" complicated linear rhythms onto big canvases, which were often placed flat on the floor. Jackson PollockABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISMHe sometimes applied paint directly from the tube, and at times also used aluminum paint to achieve a glittery effect. His vigorous attack on the canvas and intense devotion to the very act of painting led to the term "action painting." Jackson PollockABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISMOn the floor I am more at ease, I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk around in it, work from the four sides and be literally `in' the painting.

Mark RothkoABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISMMark Rothko, White Center, 1950.From that time on he would work almost invariably within this format, suggesting in numerous variations of color and tone an astonishing range of atmospheres and moods. Mark RothkoABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISMIn 1954 he asked that his largest pictures be installed "so that they must be first encountered at close quarters, so that the first experience is to be within the picture."
