Post-painterly abstraction

Post-painterly abstraction

 

Post-painterly abstraction is an art movement that emerged in the mid-20th century as a reaction to the gestural and expressive qualities of abstract expressionism. This movement is characterized by a focus on clean lines, geometric shapes, and a more controlled and precise approach to painting. Post-painterly abstraction artists sought to create non-representational art that emphasized the formal qualities of color, shape, and composition. They often used techniques such as flat fields of color and sharp edges to achieve a sense of clarity and precision in their artworks. This movement contributed to the development of minimalism and other non-objective art forms.
