About the Item

1960s Abstract Expressionist composition in blue. The painting is signed bottom right, 'Cowans' but as yet undeciphered. Presented in a fine gilt wood frame, with a silk fabric mount under glass. It is possible the work is dated bottom left. A wonderful explosion of colour, organic in its form, part plant, part rock, part mythical creature. Inspired by the paintings of the Abstract Expressionists the artist has created a composition with both fluidity and depth, light and shade. A jewel of a painting which would grace any collection or interior. Abstract expressionism in the United States emerged as a distinct art movement in the immediate aftermath of World War II and gained mainstream acceptance in the 1950s, a shift from the American social realism of the 1930s influenced by the Great Depression and Mexican muralists. The term was first applied to American art in 1946 by the art critic Robert Coates. Key figures in the New York School, which was the center of this movement, included such artists as Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, Mark Rothko, Norman Lewis, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Clyfford Still, Robert Motherwell and Theodoros Stamos among others. Throughout the second half of the 20th century, the influence of Abstarct Expressionism can be seen in diverse movements in the U.S. and Europe, including Tachisme and Neo-expressionism, among others.
