Abstract ExpressionismPost WW II
• Abstract expressionism: originated in New York in the 1940s and 1950s and aimed at subjective emotional expression with particular emphasis on the creative spontaneous act (e.g., action painting).
• The emphasis is on spontaneous, automatic or subconscious creation. What does it feel like.
• New York replaced Paris as the center of the artistic world.

Lavender Mist
• It looks like an aerial photograph of a city, but it is a city that has somehow been blasted . . . It also looks like astronomical photographs of nebulae and galaxies . . . while at the same time close up details of this and other paintings resemble microscopic photos of molecular structures.

Pop Art
• "The term first appeared in Britain during the 1950s and referred to the interest of a number of artists in the images of mass media, advertising, comics and consumer products.
• Pop art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist's use of the mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of fine art.
