Abstract Expressionism Art Analysis

I have read your scathing review of an Abstract Expressionist art exhibition and I would like to show you my opinion about how the work of American artwork was created in the 1930’s embodied Democratic values. In the 1930 a new art of painting came out and it was called the American Scene movement because it had risen in a bad reaction to the emergence of European modernism. In the social devastation of the Great Depression, many people found themselves and found strength within.

Another point that I would like to talk about is the Abstract Expressionism, this was used in Germany with Wassily Kandinsky back in 1919, and this expression became more common post War World II American Art.

Artist like Arshile Gorky, Marce Duchamp, Salvador Dali,

This type of art started in the 1940s and 1950s, artists were so tired by the period’s liberal government issues. Jackson spent years working on realist murals, his most important was Lavender Mist 1950 this one debuted in a solo exhibition at Betty Parson’s New York gallery and was the only painting that sold. Also Willem de Kooning had a very famous painting called Excavation 1950, this was one renowned works, and a true painting of his Abstract Expressionist style. In this paint we can see the abstractions of familiar shapes right on the periphery of recognition like fishes, birds, jaws, eyes and teeth. Kooning always said that he painted this way because he can put more and more thin in it like drama, anger, pain, love, a figure, a horse, and his ideas about space. Also I want to say that this painter De Kooning still remains as one of the most seminal gestural “action painters” who worked with broad brush strokes and in light pastel palettes. And I think that painter from the Abstract Expression sought the authenticity of experience of real life moments and make a representation of what they were

All these new activities meant that New York’s artist were very knowledgeable about new things in modern European art. Abstract Expressionist was focus on non-objective imagery that looked emotionally charge with personal meaning. They were trying to show the human condition, they wanted to show the world something accurate. Barnet Newman was also associated with these movements and he said that they all felt the moral crisis of a world in shambles, a world that was destroyed by a great depression and a fierce World War, and it was impossible for them to paint flowers, and people playing the cello. ("Abstract Expressionism, An Introduction", 2017).

What he meant by this is, that they wanted to show reality of what was going on in the world. They couldn’t paint lies this is why many of the painters that I mentioned before decided to became part of the movement Abstract expressionist, some of them paint this way because it’s what they were but some of them were so tired of paint showing happiness when nothing was like that at the
