Post-War American

This period of art is defined by the years between 1945 and 1970. Abstract Expressionism, synonymous with the “New York School,” was the main artistic breakthrough of the post-war era and reflected the deeply emotional post-war mood felt in America at the time. This period marks America’s Post-war dominance of the international art market, a first for the fledgling nation.

 

Some of the terms used to describe the many forms of Modern art employed by key artists of this period include: Abstract Expressionism, Geometric Abstraction, Action-Painting, Gesturalism, Post-Painterly Abstraction, Lyrical Abstraction, Non-Objective painting, Surrealism, Pop, Neo-Dada, Minimalism, Color Field, Conceptual and Hard-edge.

 

Notable proponents of the various movements include: Robert Motherwell, Arshile Gorky, Franz Kline, Clyfford Still, Hans Hofmann, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, David Smith, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Dorothy Dehner, Herbert Ferber, Ezio Martinelli, Franz Kline, Isamu Noguchi, Ibram Lassaw, Theodore Roszak, David Hare, Richard Stankiewicz, Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon Louise Bourgeois, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns Donald Judd, Robert Mangold, Agnes Martin. Alfred Leslie, Sam Francis, Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, Cy Twombly, Elaine, de Kooniing, Lee Krasner, Milton Resnick, Michael Goldberg, Norman Bluhm, Grace Hartigan, Friedel Dzubas and numerous others.

 

It is important to note, that in addition to Europe’s immeasurable legacy contribution to early modern art in America, the many artists fleeing Europe between the two World Wars that ended up in New York, played a major supporting role in the success of America’s Mid-century modern art dominance. Their influence before and after the war cannot be understated.

  

The list of venerable artists “in New York during the war” include Roberto Matta, André Breton, Hans Namuth, Jacques Lipchitz, Fernand Léger, Piet Mondrian, Yves Tanguy, Kay Sage, Max Ernst, Jimmy Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, André Masson, and Marc Chagall.
