1. Abstract expressionism

   Abstract expressionism is a post–World War II art movement in American painting, developed in New York City in the 1940s. It was the first specifically American movement to achieve international influence and put New York at the center of the Western art world, a role formerly filled by Paris. Although the term "abstract expressionism" was first applied to American art in 1946 by the art critic Robert Coates, it had been first used in Germany in 1919 in the magazine Der Sturm, regarding German Expressionism. In the United States, Alfred Barr was the first to use this term in 1929 in relation to works by Wassily Kandinsky.

1. abstract expressionism

   Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that originated in the United States in the late 1940s and lasted through the 1950s. It is characterized by abstract or non-representational works that emphasize the spontaneous, automatic, or subconscious creation of art. Paintings in this style typically feature large-scale, gestural application of paint, with an emphasis on the physical act of painting itself, often revealing the artist's emotions or inner state. Key figures of this movement include artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. It was the first specifically American movement to achieve international influence and put New York City at the center of the western art world.
