Of course when one thinks of abstract expressionism one thinks of action painting and when one thinks of that one thinks of Jackson Pollock. However, he was not the only one in this unique group of vanguard artists, most from the United States, working a style that was developed thoroughly and completely in the States. Others like the ones I have featured here, especially the forgotten female painter (as so many are in Art History), Janet Sobel and Pollock’s own wife, Lee Krasner…
In any event, this is not a very exciting type of art for me, but it may be for you and it is important to know about it. So enjoy the video. If you don’t know much about action painting, i.e. abstract expressionism, then this will be a good introduction. But my main intention is getting you to look further, look beyond and get to know more, especially if you are an artist, or a collector or a lover of art…
Cheers…

Some of them are quite good and some of them are quite…. I had a boss who was really into Rothko, a deceptive artist whose simple color blocks might make one believe that anyone could do that.

Rothko was a very unique artist, but how much can just colour tell us?

Yes, like all types of art, depends on the observer. Rothko paintings sell for millions, so definitely some people find them enchanting…

Pre-Bodo influence, I wrote a piece where Pollock had a cameo. Good read here.

I’m with Pat on this one. Rothko leaves me cold, but I saw a mural on the East Side Gallery in Berlin that I was taken with that resembles your description of abstract expressionism. Whether you would think so I’m not sure

Although I enjoy the visual beauty of many of these pieces of art, their categorization as expressionistic seems like a stretch to me. It may be expressionist for the painter while they are crating the art, but when said and done, I am not sure the any expression reaches the mind of the viewer. If these were done by unknown artists, no one would be raving about them. But that is the opinion of an uneducated and untalented visual artist.

No, I think you’re opinion is spot on Brad. Had these paintings been exhibited in a flea market on West Broadway no one would give 5€ for them. I can see abstract but nothing that would make them fit the category of expressionism. Thank you so much my friend!

Si, no lo entiendo pero algunos críticos han dicho que los cuadros de Pollock son las mejores obras que se han hecho desde que Miguel Ángel pinto la capilla Sestina. Venga, hay que joderse…

My bandmate, Jeremy Sjopinski, is on a similar path. He’s a bit tired of doing murals. I love any artist like Pollack who has a concept and the commitment to explore it.
