Abstract expressionism is the term applied to new forms of abstract art developed by American painters such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning in the 1940s and 1950s, often characterised by gestural brush-strokes or mark making, And the impression of spontaneity.
Mark Rothko
art was profoundly imbued with emotional content that he articulated through a range of styles that evolved from figurative to abstract.
His early figurative work included landscapes, still lifes, figure studies, and portraits. Demonstrating an ability to blend Expressionism and surrealism. His search for new forms of expression led to his collar field paintings, which employed shimmering colour to convey a sense of spirituality.
