Origins and History
The Abstract Expressionist movement, which emerged in the mid-20th century, was a significant turning point in the history of modern art. Led by artists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, this movement emphasized spontaneous, gestural painting and sought to convey raw emotions through color and form. One of the defining characteristics of Abstract Expressionism was its focus on oversized artworks, which allowed artists to explore new possibilities for scale and perspective. Today, the legacy of this movement can be seen in the work of many Contemporary Artists, who continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with oversized canvases and other unconventional materials.
