Postwar Art

Postwar art refers to the creative movements that emerged after World War II, roughly from the late 1940s onward. It reflects a period of experimentation, questioning traditional styles, and exploring new materials and concepts. Artists sought to express the complex emotions and societal upheavals of the time, often emphasizing individual expression, abstraction, or conceptual ideas. Movements like Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Minimalism exemplify this era's diversity. Overall, postwar art captures a time of rapid change, hope, uncertainty, and a desire to rethink art's purpose and impact in a transforming world.
