Strand Notes

(25th Anniversary Special Edition). (Basic Art series). Abstract Expressionism - the non-representational use of paint as a means of personal expression emerged in America in the 1940s, inspired primarily by the innovative work of Arshile Gorky. Abstract Expression subsequently spawned two very different sub-categories: action-painting (Jackson Pollock, Wilhelm De Kooning) and color field painting (Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still). This survey discusses and presents the lives and works of some twenty artists of the abstract expressionist school, providing a detailed chronological summary of each's life & work. Approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions. 96p.
