Post-War Art refers to the artistic movements and styles that emerged after World War II, primarily from the late 1940s to the 1960s. This period saw a shift in focus from traditional forms to more experimental and abstract approaches. Artists sought to express the complexities of modern life, often reflecting the trauma and disillusionment caused by the war. Key movements included Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Minimalism. Prominent artists of this era included Jackson Pollock, known for his drip paintings, and Andy Warhol, who explored consumer culture through his iconic works. The art world became increasingly global, with influences from Europe, America, and Asia shaping new artistic expressions. This period laid the groundwork for contemporary art practices.
