Abstract expressionism

 

 



 

  • No definable subject matter

  • Gesture, movement

  • Freedom to play - defied the accidental

 

Action painting

Vigorous and expressive ways of painting

Letting the action of the movements lead the work to create the painting

 

Colour field painting

Less emotionally expressive, cerebral and philosophical approach

Simple compositions, large areas of flat colour to create emotional response
