Ορισμός και Σημασία του "abstract expressionism"

What is "Abstract Expressionism"?

Abstract Expressionism was an art movement that began in the mid-20th century, mainly in the United States. It focused on expressing emotions and ideas through abstract forms and bold colors. Artists like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko aimed to convey deep feelings and personal experiences, often using large canvases and unplanned techniques. Instead of showing recognizable subjects, they used abstract shapes and powerful brushstrokes to create a certain mood and feeling. Abstract Expressionism aimed to give viewers an emotional experience rather than a literal representation, emphasizing the artist's mental experiences and creative process.
