What Are the Key Characteristics of Abstract Expressionism?
• Unconventional application of paint, usually without a recognizable subject (de Kooning's Woman series is an exception) that tends toward amorphous shapes in brilliant colors.• Dripping, smearing, slathering, and flinging lots of paint on to the
canvas (often an unprimed canvas).• Sometimes gestural "writing" in a loosely calligraphic manner.• In the case of Color Field artists: carefully filling the picture plane with
zones of color that create tension between the shapes and hues.
