Postwar Art
Postwar 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 Europe to the United States, where movements like Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art gained prominence. Artists such as Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol explored new techniques and themes, reflecting the changing social and political landscape.
The era was characterized by a diverse range of styles, including Minimalism and Conceptual Art. Artists sought to challenge traditional notions of art, often incorporating everyday objects and materials. This experimentation laid the groundwork for contemporary art practices and continues to influence artists today.
