Abstract Imagists is a term derived from a 1961 exhibition in the Guggenheim Museum, New York called ''American Abstract Expressionists and Imagists.'' This exhibition was the first in the series of programs for the investigation of tendencies in American and European painting and sculpture.〔( ''American abstract expressionists and imagists,'' ) (New York : Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1961.) Library of Congress Card Catalog Number: 61-18230〕 ==Style== It had been recognized that the paintings of Josef Albers, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb, Ad Reinhardt, Clyfford Still and Robert Motherwell were all very different yet the symbolic content was achieved "through dramatic statement of isolated and highly simplified elements." 〔( ''American abstract expressionists and imagists,'' ) (New York : Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1961.) Library of Congress Card Catalog Number: 61-18230 p. 23-31〕 In many cases the dramatic simplification was achieved by the use of: *geometric means: Josef Albers; Franz Kline; Hans Hofmann *compression: Grace Hartigan; George McNeil *intricate elaboration of canvas surfaces: Richard Pousette-Dart; Robert Richenburg; John Ferren; Jimmy Ernst; *isolated shapes or signs: Adolph Gottlieb, Robert Motherwell *detailed over-all patterning of the canvas: William Baziotes *simplified structure through the dominance of the large, unified color shapes: James Brooks, Esteban Vicente, Adja Yunkers, Cameron Booth; Giorgio Cavallon In some cases there was a "loss of the feeling and immediacy" in the work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abstract Imagists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
