A. J.P., (Pollock) during and after Jungian therapy sought to develop an approach to painting that would ultimately arrive at an archetypal expression associated with a purity of thought experienced in the dream-state, or in the unencumbered expressions of a child's freedom from elitist, figurative academicism. Pure formalist abstraction is the conversion or expression of images of "real" things - places, objects, emotions,etc, to a purely non-representational statement in line, color or mass. Expressionism is a method by which the artist uses broad movement or the aggressive intermingling of colors, shapes and forms that may include direct, though altered representation (deKooning's women) of "real" people, places and things.

A. Nope. Rauschenberg was not at the reaction of anything. The passage from abstract expressionism to pop art had more to do with the time, cultural and political transitions.

What is Abstract Expressionism?
Q. Can anyone provide a brief summary on Abstract Expressionism?
Asked by Lyra V - Sun Nov 30 17:15:00 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Abstract Expressionism was an American Art Movement of the late forties and early fifties which emphasized the importance of the gesture in putting paint on canvases. Two of its most important exponents were Jackson Pollock who created large canvases with designs he literally dripped onto them, and Willem de Koonig who is famous for abstracted paintings of women which were often as ferocious as Picasso's. Larry Rivers, who with Motherwell and Jasper Johns became famous as the next generation of painting, infamously bought a Willem de Koonig drawing which he exhibited -- after erasing it totally. The erasures were the gestures of his artwork. The three artists I mentioned used some printing technologies which became more important with… [cont.]

Asked by Zakiya M - Thu Feb 19 15:44:10 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Abstract expressionism was an American post World War II art movement. It was the first specifically American movement to achieve worldwide influence and also the one that put New York City at the center of the art world, a role formerly filled by Paris. Although the term "abstract expressionism" was first applied to American art in 1946 by the art critic Robert Coates, it had been first used in Germany in 1919 in the magazine Der Sturm, regarding German Expressionism. In the USA, Alfred Barr was the first to use this term in 1929 in relation to works by Wassily Kandinsky. Alfonso Ossorio, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell are among the leaders of the movement.

Abstract Art or Abstract Expressionism?
Q. I have to do an Art project at school based on the work of a particular artsist from any movement... I have finally whittled it down to, abstract art and abstract expressionism. Abstracts art seems like a vast art form, where should I start?? Who are significant artists linked to this era?? And what about Abstract Expressionism, ive researched this quite a bit so i know really it was called action art and the rest of it, but i feel like doing this kind of art would be not that challenging... So really, which would be better to do a project around and recreate works? And where should i start? Who is a significant artist in abstract art? :S Thank you :]
Asked by pretty_hate_machine - Wed Mar 18 16:37:59 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. abstract expressionism is challenging because you have to find a way to compose abstraction, which is difficult. you have to understand how elements can be built together to create something that is aesthetic, which will fail on you more often than not. (many people may not like abstract expressionism but you cannot deny the compositional integrity of their works) with abstract art, basically you can start in tons of places. cubism, de stjl (which you might also dismiss as unchallenging), artists like Kandisky, Rothko, Klee, Dubuffet, even the arts of Australian aboriginals. essentially, anything modified from naturalistic representation is abstraction. so your options are limitless.

A. Impression was the style of art started in France in the mid 1800's. Impressionist artists include: Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cassatt, Sisley, Utrillo. The impressionist style is meant to be viewed from far away - it captures a fleeting moment. The style is not crisp, its kind of blotty. The impressionists were most concerned with capturing the right color and light, and were not as concerned with the form and shape. Examples: expressionism was a form of modern art in the early 1900's. The Fauves, Matisse, Roualt, Derain and other expressionists - Kandinsky, Marc, Kirchner were most concerned with expressing their feelings toward the world and themselves. Sometimes with expressionism people feel they don't really understand it, and… [cont.]

Examples of Abstract and Non-Objective Art?
Q. If we're going by pure definition, Abstract departs from representational accuracy, it exaggerates or simplifies forms that are suggested by reality. It's a matter of distortion. Non-objective on the other hand has no semblance of life, but is instead focused on pure form: line, space, color, etc. So, is Jackson Pollack considered Abstract, or Non-Objective? On many sites I've seen, he's classified as "Abstract expressionism." Can someone clarify, and maybe give me an example of a clearly Abstract piece, and a clearly Non-Objective piece?
