What is abstract expressionism?

Also known as abstraction, or abstraction, is an art movement in the United States before World War II. This is the first art movement in America. Abstraction was first used in American art and was put forward by art critic Robert Cortes in 1946. The most important predecessor of abstraction is surrealism. Surrealism emphasizes the concepts of unconsciousness, spontaneity and random creation, which are constantly used in Jackson Pollock's oil paintings splashed on the floor in later generations. It is generally believed that Pollock studied the works of Marx Ernst. The reason why the abstract school can form its own school is that it expresses the emotional power of art and has the characteristics of self-expression. This echoes the expressionist anti-figurative aesthetics and some European art schools that emphasize abstract totems (such as Bauhaus, Futurism, Cubism, etc.). ) Abstract painting often has a special feeling of rebellion, disorder and breaking away from nothingness. Representative painters: Kandinsky's Composition No.4 (War) and Composition Exercise No.7.. Levich's "The Plane Takes off", Kuboka's "Painting Composition Theme II" and so on.
