Abstract Expressionism
This title is no longer available from the Roland Collection. Details remain on this site for the reference of previous customers.
In Abstract Expressionism the artist Donald Judd, himself very un-Expressionist in style, examines the works of Mondrian, De Kooning, Rothko, Still, Pollock and Newman. He believes that to call the artists of the New York School `Expressionist' does not give an adequate account of their work, even though an important part of what typifies Expressionism is its use of marks and paint strokes that are dynamic, spontaneous, even violent, making material expressive in itself. The viewer sympathizes with the gesture of the artist. In Abstract Expressionism this power of the material itself to `express' is brought home to us, since often there is no trace of representational imagery to which a painting's force can be attributed.
