Art History: The «Abstract Expressionists»

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…
