American Abstract Artists

American Abstract Artists is a collective formed in 1936 that focuses on promoting abstract art in the United States. Comprising painters, sculptors, and printmakers, the group aimed to establish abstraction as a legitimate art form, distinct from traditional representation. They organized exhibitions, discussions, and publications to support and showcase the work of artists experimenting with non-representational forms. The collective played a pivotal role in advancing modern art, influencing the development of movements like Abstract Expressionism and helping to shape America’s artistic landscape during the 20th century and beyond.
