In this video from the Clyfford Still Museum (CSM) ground-floor storyviewers, CSM Director Dean Sobel, Senior Consulting Curator David Anfam, art historian Robert Storr, and author Robert Genter discuss the development of this iconic American artistic movement following World War II. While Storr and Genter provide historical context for the movement, Sobel identifies “all over” composition and monumental scale as two of its defining characteristics.

What is Abstract Expressionism?

abstract expressionism was an underrated genre, during the life times of painters such as Mark Rothko, the figurative meanings from the point of contemporary social media give peaceful abstract expressionism an important voice towards a less competitive and more rational world
Cool video! I love abstract expressionism, both creating and studying it! Wish it was more appreciated in many circles.
I LOVE ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM!
Wait…weren't all these artists bought and paid for by a Wall Street millionaires? America was fighting a culture war against the Soviet culture of realism.
I wish this museum was in SF
