Description

Spontaneous, instinctive, and boldly unconventional—Abstract Expressionism shattered tradition and redefined modern art. Emerging in post–World War II New York, this daring movement marked the first time the U.S. became the epicenter of the art world, stealing the spotlight from Paris. Jackson Pollock, one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century, led the charge alongside a group of avant-garde peers known as the New York School. This course explores the movement’s origins, key figures, and offers tools to help you decode and appreciate abstract art.
