Abstract Expressionism 1 Abstract Expressionism
Abstract expressionism 1 Abstract expressionism Abstract expressionism was an American post–World War II art movement. It was the first specifically American movement to achieve worldwide influence and put New York City at the center of the western art world, a role formerly filled by Paris. Although the term "abstract expressionism" was first applied to American art in 1946 by the art critic Robert Coates, it had been first used in Germany in 1919 in the magazine Der Sturm, regarding German Expressionism. In the USA, Alfred Barr was the first to use this term in 1929 in relation to works by Wassily Kandinsky.[1] The movement's name is derived from the combination of the emotional intensity and self-denial of the German Expressionists with the anti-figurative aesthetic of the European abstract schools such as Futurism, the Bauhaus and Synthetic Cubism. Additionally, it has an image of being rebellious, anarchic, highly idiosyncratic and, some feel, nihilistic.[2] Jackson Pollock, No. 5, 1948, oil on fiberboard, 244 x 122 cm. (96 x 48 in.), private collection. Style Technically, an important predecessor is surrealism, with its emphasis on spontaneous, automatic or subconscious creation. Jackson Pollock's dripping paint onto a canvas laid on the floor is a technique that has its roots in the work of André Masson, Max Ernst and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Another important early manifestation of what came to be abstract expressionism is the work of American Northwest artist Mark Tobey, especially his "white writing" canvases, which, though generally not large in scale, anticipate the "all-over" look of Pollock's drip paintings. -

Nakian [By] Frank O'hara
Nakian [by] Frank O'Hara. [Exhibition], June 20-Sept. 5, 1966 Author Museum of Modern Art (New York, N.Y.) Date 1966 Publisher The Museum of Modern Art: Distributed by Doubleday, Garden City, N.Y. Exhibition URL www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/2577 The Museum of Modern Art's exhibition history— from our founding in 1929 to the present—is available online. It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art N A K I A X 56 pages; 80 illustrations $4.95 N AKI AN by Frank O'Hara This extensively illustrated monograph is the first to appear on one of America's foremost modern sculptors, Reuben Nakian. As Frank O'Hara makes clear in his illuminating study, Nakian's career "has had dramatic ups and downs, advances, re versals, revaluations." Following in the tradition of Paul Manship and Gaston Lachaise, Nakian by his mid-thirties was already acclaimed for his styl ized animal sculpture and realistic portraits. Then abruptly he drastically revised his artistic concepts, and after virtually abandoning sculpture for about a decade reemerged in the late 1940s with draw ings, terra-cottas, and bronzes that were sensuous, abstract interpretations of mythological themes. This new style, while highly personal, was closely related to that of the abstract expressionists. It led directly to the remarkable plastic innovations of the later works in plaster, bronze, and steel — heroic both in subject and scale —through which Nakian has made his major contribution to con temporary art. The detailed chronology and bibliography which supplement the text clarify the events in Nakian's career and indicate as well the growth of interest in his work. -
