c.1980

About the Item

Frame size 84x69 cm. José Antonio Palanca Ruiz was born in 1934 and was mainly inspired by the 1950s. Arguably, the 1950s were dominated by Abstract Expressionism, a form of painting that prioritized dramatic brush strokes and expressed ideas about organic nature, spirituality, and the sublime. Much of the attention was focused on the formal techniques of painting, and the ideas of action painting were confused with the political freedom of American society as opposed to the restrictive nature of the Soviet bloc. In the postwar period, the lens of modernism focused, in terms of international attention, on events in New York City. The Second World War had brought many prominent artists into exile from Europe to the city, resulting in a remarkable pooling of talent and ideas. Among the influential Europeans who came to New York and inspired American artists were Piet Mondrian, Josef Albers, and Hans Hoffmann, who together laid the foundation for much of America's significant cultural growth in the decades that followed. Among the influential artists of the Abstract Expressionism Generation were Jackson Pollock (who innovated his famous drip, splash, and pour painting techniques), Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Frank Kline, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still, and Adolph Gottlieb. It was a male-dominated environment, but the necessary revisionism of this period has underscored the contributions of female artists such as Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, and Louise Bourgeois, among others.
