1940-1955 Abstract Expressionism and action painting - a
New York movement of painting characterized by freely created abstractions.
The first important movement of American painting to develop independently
of European styles. First applied to American art in 1946, 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. |
