Origins and History
The emergence of the Abstract Expressionist movement in America marked a significant departure from traditional representational art. Led by artists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, this movement emphasized the use of spontaneous, gestural brushstrokes and non-representational imagery to convey emotion and the inner workings of the human psyche. This approach paved the way for subsequent movements such as Color Field painting and Minimalism, and continues to challenge our perceptions of what constitutes art today.

Notable original contemporary Abstract artworks
One of the most iconic works of contemporary Abstract art is "No. 61 (Rust and Blue)" by Mark Rothko, created in 1953. This masterpiece is a large canvas with two rectangular blocks of color, one rust and one blue, that appear to float on top of each other. The effect is both serene and dramatic, with the colors blending and bleeding into one another.
Another notable Abstract artwork is "Blue Poles" by Jackson Pollock, made in 1952. This painting is known for its chaotic energy and frenzied brushstrokes. The canvas is dominated by a series of long, thin poles painted in blue, green, and brown, surrounded by a flurry of drips and splatters.
"Number 1" by Franz Kline, created in 1950, is a prime example of Abstract Expressionism. This black and white painting is composed of thick, jagged lines that seem to dance across the canvas. The lines are so bold and forceful that they appear to be carved into the surface of the painting.
Ellsworth Kelly’s "Red Blue Green" from 1963 is a minimalist masterpiece. This large, rectangular canvas is divided into three equal sections, each painted a single, bright primary color. The simplicity of the composition belies the power of the colors, which seem to glow and vibrate against one another.
Finally, "Black and White" by Ad Reinhardt, made in 1960-66, is a study in monochromatic minimalism. The canvas is divided into nine equal squares, each painted a different shade of black or gray. At first glance, the painting appears to be a uniform field of color, but upon closer inspection, the subtle variations in tone become apparent. The effect is meditative and contemplative, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the infinite possibilities of black and white.
