Abstract Expressionism

 The Abstract Expressionists followed the earlier Abrstract painters such as Wassily Kandinsky, Alexei Jawlensky, Ernst Kirchner and Paul Klee. Alexei von Jawlensky observed "The artist expresses only what he has within himself, not what he sees with his eyes."

Expressionists typically splash paint rapidly, and with force allowing their feelings and emotions to be transferred directly to paper or canvas. Kandinsky stated "Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul"
