From the Tate.
I don’t enjoy the chaos & nor do I really appreciate the appeal.
But I can see how revolutionary it was in art history.
No doubt a reflection of the world during the atomic age. The nuclear arms race, power of electrons and molecular matter. Artists from this era lived through two world wars, the Holocaust and the Great Depression. How do you make art that is meaningful? The expressionists turned inwards to themselves, and painted what they felt instead.
To me, a bit cheap and cheerful - more of a craft than art.
