The goal of this project is to make art historical terms understandable in a simple and quick way.

The late modern style "Abstract Expressionism" is presented in five chapters through text, photos, a video of about 6 minutes and several experiments.

If you roll over a paragraph or image, you can see some reaction.

Some paragraphs start with a play symbol ( ▶ ) at the beginning. When you click on the text, the content is read aloud.

The plus sign (+) in the right margin is a hint regarding an experiment.

In order to measure the effectiveness of the teaching method with high accuracy, please do not make notes or search on internet.

Good luck:)

As the term suggests, their work was characterized by non-objective imagery that appeared emotionally charged with personal meaning. The artists, however, rejected these implications of the name.
