How free can abstract art be,
that is the question. As abstract expressionists felt limited
by the abstract-geometric and cubistic bounds, abstract
paintings began to gain expression and at the same time "lose
shape". Abstract paintings by Jackson Pollock demonstrate how
abstract expressionism moved towards the production of paintings
without conscious control. How effective is abstract art when
the emphasis on form is reduced, or absent? Is there a trade-off
between expression and form? These are interesting questions about
paintings which should transcend the "it's all just a matter of
taste" platitudes.
The creation of abstract expressionism in America had been
preceded in the mid 40's by Europeans like Wolfgang Schulze (aka "Wols").
"Wolfgang Schulze was the spiritual father of 'Tachism' (after the
French tache = stain, scratch) and in a broader sense of the
paintings of art informel, the style of wild gestures" and 'action
painting', a rebellion against the formalism of abstract codes, that
reintroduced 'feeling' in art, by freely applying the paint,
dripping and splashing" (after "Kunst van de 20e eeuw" - Ruhrberg,
Schneckenburg, Fricke, Honnef - Taschen Verlag GmbH).
Contemporary paintings no longer reflect a contraposition between
abstract art and figurative art, but these styles either come
together in paintings by contemporary artists, or exist side by side
in pure figurative paintings or pure abstract art paintings.
