Abstract Expressionism is an artistic movements that emerged in the 1940’s, which included the work of pioneering artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Clifford Still, Joan Mitchell and Willem de Kooning. The conceptual drive behind Abstract Expressionism is to communicate an idea, feeling or event, without depicting “actual” reality. Rather, artists use geometric shapes, expressive gestural marks, or colour to fulfill their vision.
