The first collection of writings on the entire history of Abstract
Expressionism--a movement that has inspired six decades of heated
rhetoric Abstract Expressionism is arguably the most important art
movement in postwar America. Many of its creators and critics
became celebrities, participating in heated public debates that
were published in newspapers, magazines, and exhibition catalogues.
This up-to-date anthology is the first comprehensive collection of
key critical writings about Abstract Expressionism from its
inception in the 1940s to the present day. Ellen G. Landau's
masterful introduction presents and analyzes the major arguments
and crucial points of view that have surrounded the movement decade
by decade. She then offers a selection of readings, also organized
by decade, including influential statements by such artists as Mark
Rothko, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, and Barnett Newman as
well as the commentary of diverse critics. Offering new insights
into the development of Abstract Expressionism, this rich anthology
also demonstrates the ongoing impact of this revolutionary and
controversial movement. Reading Abstract Expressionism is essential
for the library of any curator, scholar, or student of
twentieth-century art.
