Abstract+Expressionism

= AbStRaCt ExPrEsSiOnIsM = After many European artists emigrated to the United States after WWII, America gained a name for itself in the art world through abstract expressionism. The art was often abstract or expressive, and all artists focused on an underlying theme of the artwork, usually focusing on different moral aspects of society. The movement valued creativity and individuality. Important artists to note include Rothko, Pollock, and de Cooning.
