Following World War II, Western painting went in completely new
directions. A young generation of artists turned their backs on the
dominant styles of the interwar period: Instead of figurative
representation or geometric abstraction, painters in the orbit of
Abstract Expressionism in the US and Art Informel in Western Europe
pursued a radically impulsive approach to form, color, and
material. As an expression of individual freedom, the spontaneous
artistic gesture gained symbolic significance. Large-scale
color-field compositions created a meditative space for ruminating
the fundamental questions of human existence. The exhibition and
catalogue examine the two sister movements against the background
of a vibrant transatlantic exchange, from the 1940s through to the
end of the Cold War. This lavishly illustrated volume brings
together works by more than 50 artists, amongst them Alberto Burri,
Jean Dubuffet, Helen Frankenthaler, K. O. Goetz, Franz Kline, Lee
Krasner, Georges Mathieu, Joan Mitchell, Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Barnett
Newman, Jackson Pollock, Judit Reigl, Mark Rothko, Hedda Sterne,
Clyfford Still, and Jack Tworkov.
