Jackson Pollock and consorts: Abstract Expressionism in the USA, Informel in Western Europe: After the Second World War, young artists turned away from the styles of the interwar years. Instead of figurative representations, they chose large-format, two-dimensional color field paintings, dealing expressively with form, color and material. Images that have a meditative quality that, like the work by Judit Reigl shown here, literally suck you in when you look at them for a long time. The exhibition The Form of Freedom – International Abstraction after 1945 at the Museum Barberini from June 4 to September 25 examines “the creative interplay between Abstract Expressionism and informal painting in transatlantic exchange and dialogue from the mid-1940s to the end of the Cold War”. With works by Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Helen Frankenthaler, Judit Reigl, Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Jackson Pollock or Mark Rothko.
