The founding artists of this movement were working in a spirit of revolt and self-exploration that made Abstract Expressionism much more of an outlook or ideal than a stylistic development. The artistic output varied, however the freedom of expression was constant.</div> <bR> <div> The Abstract Expressionist revolt against traditional artistic styles, technical details and aesthetics led to a spontaneity that is best characterized by the action painting or splatter works of Jackson Pollock. This freedom of Expression also led to the acceptance of the "Color Field" paintings of Mark Rothko. This movement had a tremendous impact on 20th Century art and was the first US born movement to impact European art in a substantial way.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="166"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="265" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="166" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <div> <A HREF="artmovements.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Art Movements"><U><B>Back to Art Movements</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="opart.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Op Art"><U><B>Next Page</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="surrealism.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Surrealism"><U><B>Previous Page</B></U></A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
