New York Painting in the 50’s
had an international influence, but it was easy to distinguish the
original from Parisian, Japanese, and other practitioners of abstract
painting. There was a local look.
The community of artists in New York and environs since the late 1940’s
produced a vital cultural force throughout the world. This art has
been named Abstract Expressionism, or Action Painting, or “The
New York School.” The artists had a special flavor or light
in their work that set them apart from the rest of the world. It is
still true that knowledgeable viewers see a fresh, physical quality
in this work by this avant-garde group of artists who explored their
own new realms of vision.
