Abstract
The Abstract expressionism movement, thriving in post-World War II America, marked a shift from earlier styles like social realism. The New York School became the epicenter, with artists like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko exploring spontaneous, abstract forms and emotional intensity. An Untitled abstract composition exemplifies this era’s emphasis on gestural brushwork, color fields, and non-representational imagery, capturing the essence of Abstract expressionism’s quest for authentic human expression beyond traditional figurative art.
