Abstract Expressionism Artistic Styles
Abstract Expressionism Artistic Styles: An art movement that emerged in the mid-20th century, characterized by the use of abstract forms, gestural brushwork, and spontaneous, often emotional expression. Artists working in this style sought to convey their inner thoughts and feelings through their art, often eschewing traditional techniques and representational subject matter in favor of non-representational forms and bold, expressive colors. Key figures in the Abstract Expressionist movement include Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko.
