Encumbrado como el primer movimiento artístico surgido en Estados Unidos que tuvo una repercusión mundial, el expresionismo abstracto se caracteriza por un uso no figurativo de la pintura como medio de expresión personal. Emergió en Estados Unidos en la década de 1940, con Jackson Pollock, Philip Guston, Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko y Willem de Kooning como máximos exponentes.
El expresionismo abstracto abarcó múltiples tendencias estilísticas, si bien se englobaron en dos subcategorías especialmente destacadas: el action painting (o «pintura gestual»), ejemplificado por De Kooning y Pollock, y el color-field painting (o «pintura de campos de color»), cuyo representante más destacado fue Rothko. En todo momento, los expresionistas abstractos se esforzaron por transmitir emociones e ideas mediante marcas, formas, texturas, tonalidades y la calidad particular de las pinceladas. El movimiento se decantó por lienzos a gran escala e hizo suyos el accidente y la casualidad.
Con obras ilustradas de 20 artistas clave del expresionismo abstracto, este libro presenta el movimiento que desplazó el centro de gravedad del arte desde París hasta Nueva York y continúa siendo para muchos la época dorada del arte estadounidense.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Hailed as the first American-born art movement to have a worldwide influence, Abstract Expressionism denotes the non-representational use of paint as a means of personal expression. It emerged in America in the 1940s, with lead protagonists including Jackson Pollock, Philip Guston, Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. Abstract Expressionism spawned many different stylistic tendencies but two particularly prominent sub-categories: action painting, exemplified by de Kooning and Pollock, and color field painting, made most famous by Rothko. Throughout, Abstract Expressionists strove to convey emotions and ideas through the making of marks, through forms, textures, shades, and the particular quality of brushstrokes. The movement favored large-scale canvases, and embraced the role of accident or chance. With featured works from 20 key Abstract Expressionist artists, this book introduces the movement which shifted the center of art gravity from Paris to New York and remains for many the golden moment of American art.
