Abstract Expressionism

Abstract Expressionism 1945-1960

Abstract expressionism was an art movement that swept the United States after World War II. Each artist's style is different, but

paintings using the abstract expressionist style have some similar characteristics. Each piece was abstract, even those that were inspired

by, or were depictions of, the real world. Abstract expressionism rejected convention, and artists sought new ways to think about art,

and began creating art in new ways, such as Jackson Pollock's technique of dripping paint on a canvas laid on the floor.
