Abstract Expressionism
Before & during WWII, there was a huge migration of European artists to America in order to escape persecution. These artists opened art schools, exhibited in American museums, and shared their philosophical views & artistic techniques. All of this heavily influenced the creation of art in the mid to late 20th century.
Abstract Expressionism developed during this time. These artists sought to evoke emotion through communication with non-objective Jungian archetypes. Two categories developed out of this movement, Action Painting & Color Field.
