Abstract Expressionism
The term Abstract Expressionism originally gained currency during the 1920s as a description of Wassily Kandinsky’s abstract paintings. It was first used to describe contemporary painting by the writer Robert Coates, in the March 30, 1946, issue of the New Yorker. Abstract Expressionism’s most articulate advocates, the critics Harold Rosenberg and Clement Greenberg, originated the names Action painting and American-style painting, respectively. In the United States, Abstract Expressionism (or simply Ab Ex or even AE) was the name that stuck. The European variant was dubbed Art Informel by the French critic Michel TapiÉ in his 1952 book Un Art autre (Another art).
