American Abstract Expressionism - Essay

Abstract Expressionism in America began in the end of 40s, after the Second World War. The term itself was introduced by a German art critic E. von Sydow, back in 20s - to mark some specific aspects of the Expressionists movement. Later, the term was used to characterise early paintings of Kandinsky, and in 1947 - works by De Kooning and Pollock.

One of the principles of abstract expressionists was "energetic" (action) or "gesture" painting. They used large canvases, applying paint rapidly and energetically using wide brushes, sometimes spilling it or throwing directly to the canvas. This expressive method of painting was considered not less important than artwork itself. Not all their works were purely abstract (Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston) or expressive (Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko), but they all shared the idea, that the spontaneity of painting method ("raw and impulsive" art) helps to free the creativity.

The main representatives of Abstract Expression movement were: Arshile Gorky, Philip Guston, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, David Smith, Clyfford Still, Jackson Pollock, Ad Reinhardt and Mark Rothko.

Term Papers on Abstract Expressionism

The Internet and Fine Art : Essay

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the difference between art and culture, especially when it appears on the Internet. It then describes how the Internet has changed the creation, dissemination and selling of art and culture. Additionally, the paper discusses the level of success that artists can achieve when trying to sell their art over the Internet and explains why there may be a difference between selling online and selling through a gallery.

From the Paper:

"Selling Art on the Internet, by Marques Vickers, a California artist, describes how the artist can mount their own website (after learning website design), generate traffic to their website and cultivate media exposure. The "pay for clicks" describes how, if an artist has more visitors to their website, they pay for it to "agent companies" who generate visitors to their specific site. There are also merchant affiliate programs, self-publishing virtual and portfolio galleries. The author talks about auction sites, as well, the most popular way for an artist to get their work on the web. Directed toward the individual artist, the author believes that the Internet is the way that artwork will be distributed in the future."
