Dan Christensen
Untitled 296L7

1996

About the Item

Following the dominant Abstract Expressionist wave of post-WWII, which decried realism in favor of non-representational forms, the second-generation Abstract Expressionists pointed the way forward. Famously declaring that painting had exhausted its possibilities and the medium’s progression was pushed to its logical end at the end of the 1950s, influential critic Clement Greenberg seemingly declared the end of Abstraction. The second generation, less concerned with expressions of inner angst like their predecessors, acknowledged the innovation of Abstract Expressionism by employing methods such as all-over composition, the emphasis on the flatness of the canvas, and the bold use of color drips and splashes. Movements such as Hard-edge Painting, Colorfield Painting, and Lyrical Abstraction arose as a response not only to the previous generation of painters but to the aloof aesthetic nature of movements such as Minimalism and Conceptualism of the 1960s and 70s. Dan Christensen can be categorized under the umbrella of Lyrical Abstraction, which moved towards more lyrical, sensuous, and romantic abstractions that sought to reinvigorate a painterly tradition in American art.
