an art movement of the 1960s that reacted against abstract expressionism by rejecting gestural brushwork in favor of smooth, evenly painted surfaces with hard-edged geometrical shapes and drips of color
What is "Post-Painterly Abstraction"?
Post-Painterly Abstraction was an art movement that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, known for its focus on clean lines, solid colors, and simple forms. Artists like Helen Frankenthaler, Ellsworth Kelly, and Morris Louis were key figures, creating works with large areas of unblended color and geometric shapes. This movement aimed to present art in a more controlled and less personal way, emphasizing the visual experience of form and color while avoiding emotional or personal expression.
