The New York School • Reaction against dominant styles in the U.S. of the 1930s and 1940s (Social Realism and Regionalism) • Immigration of European artists from WWII torn Europe into the U.S. • “Hole” in European art centers created by WWII

  5. Abstract Expressionism (continued) • First major original direction in history of American painting • For the first time in history, the U.S. (specifically New York City) becomes the art center of the world • Characterized by the movement’s title Abstract + Expressionism • A.E. falls into two categories: 1.

  14. Minimalism – 1960s • Minimalism = “extreme visual reduction” • Another reaction against Abstract Expressionism • De-personalization…stress of art object itself…the medium is the art…artist’s role in the creation is de-emphasized • Elimination of narrative which “gets in the way” of the medium

  15. Stella(Fig 708/21-23)

  16. PostModern Art (a.k.a.)Contemporary Art • Art from the 1970s to present is typically referred to as “contemporary” • “Pluralism” – several types of art co-exist simultaneously…not dominated by one type • Even more difficult to place a particular artist in a particular category
