Abstract expressionism has the distinction of being the first American school of art to gain international acclaim & significance - so much so that ultimately New York would supplant Paris, transforming it into the premier city of the Art World.
Abstraction is essentially a subjective or inward-looking process, full of passion, intuitive expression, unimpeded honesty, and liberated force.

One of the first generation abstract expressionist painters who escaped a violent Russian Empire pogrom and came to the United States in 1922.

COLOR FIELD
(1922 - 1993)
