Abstract Expressionism was America’s first major art movement. In the 1940s–50s, New York painters like Pollock, Rothko, and de Kooning exploded onto canvases with raw emotion, giant scale, and no recognizable subject. Pollock dripped and splattered on the floor. Rothko painted floating rectangles of colour that felt like cathedrals. De Kooning slashed at female figures with violent brushstrokes. It was about the act of painting itself – joy, rage, and the subconscious. This category covers action painting and colour field painting.
