School of New York

The School of New York refers to a group of American artists, primarily painters, who emerged in New York City during the mid-20th century. Known for their bold, abstract styles, they often emphasized vibrant colors and expressive forms. Key figures included Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko. Their work was characterized by techniques like action painting, where the act of painting itself became part of the artwork. This movement significantly influenced modern art, pushing boundaries and challenging traditional concepts of art. It celebrated individuality and spontaneity, making New York a leading center for contemporary art.
