Abstract Expressionism is a style characterised by a bold palette, gestural brushwork and visceral expression. Developed by American painters working in New York in the mid-20th century, Abstract Expressionism sought to create art that was both abstract and emotive. From the spontaneous and sporadic work of ‘action painters’, led by the likes of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, to the considered composition paintings of Clyfford Still and Mark Rothko, Abstract Expressionist paintings were typically large-scale to react against traditional and refined artistic practice.

Abstract Expressionism came about post-second world war, with its impact pushing New York forward to become the centre of the contemporary art world by the 1950s. Abstract Expressionism is often aligned with the flourishing of jazz music in New York, due to their shared improvisational approach, as well as the lyrical and evocative effect of both arts.
