ESSAY ON: Harold Rosenberg and the Action Painters

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: (5 pp) Rosenberg came up with the term "action painting," when he was talking about those painters we now call "abstract expressionists." As a critic and writer, Rosenberg argued that the major value of art was in the act of creation itself. Today, following the same line of argument, we might say that the value is in the process. Rosenberg, the first spokesman for this new form, felt that visual art should be treated as if it was a narrative, or "told a story." He said , "The new painting has broken down every distinction between art and life. Modern art is educational, not with regard to art but with regard to life." Bibliography lists 10 sources.
