Discussion 4.5

by

Humanities

Thus far, we’ve focused our discussion on American Abstraction Expressionism (the New York School, action painting, and color field painting) and Pop Art,

but there are even more movements, artists/artworks, and ideas covered in this week’s textbook readings as well as the supplemental materials provided for you in this Module.

In this last exercise for the week, it’s your turn to select one artwork from a movement or artist that we have not yet discussed in one of our exercises to share with us.
