    This rich anthology—the first collection of writings on the entire history of Abstract Expressionism—examines not only the development of the movement but also its enduring impact. With a masterful introduction and a comprehensive selection of influential writings by key artists and critics, this is the definitive text on postwar Americaâ??s most important art movement. 

  • Product Description

    Abstract Expressionism is arguably the most important art movement in postwar America. Many of its creators and critics became celebrities, participating in heated public debates that were published in newspapers, magazines, and exhibition catalogues. This up-to-date anthology is the first comprehensive collection of key critical writings about Abstract Expressionism from its inception in the 1940s to the present day.

    Ellen G. Landauâ??s masterful introduction presents and analyzes the major arguments and crucial points of view that have surrounded the movement decade by decade. She then offers a selection of readings, also organized by decade, including influential statements by such artists as Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, and Barnett Newman as well as the commentary of diverse critics. Offering new insights into the development of Abstract Expressionism, this rich anthology also demonstrates the ongoing impact of this revolutionary and controversial movement.
    Reading Abstract Expressionism is essential for the library of any curator, scholar, or student of twentieth-century art.
