Abstract Expressionism
– noun
an “artistic” movement reflective of post-wwii america’s industrial dominance. just as gm was able to slap together sh-tty cars & dump them on the “free” world, american “artists” figured they could slap any sh-t they wanted onto a canvas & declare it artistically “relevant”. as the philosopher p.t. barnum observed, a sucker’s born every minute, & so the sh-t sold.
a major reason these artists sucked was they couldn’t stay inside the lines. they side-stepped this seeming career-killer by ignoring the lines & marketing themselves as rebellious, anarchic, idiosyncratic & nihilistic which explains a lot about why the “art” looks the way it does… when you set out to paint sh-t, you end up with art that looks like sh-t.
eventually the art world caught on to the scam, forcing the “artistes” to rebrand themselves as trailblazers in other bogus schools like “post-painterly abstraction”, “color field painting”, “lyrical abstraction”, “action painting”, “minimal art”, “post-minimalism”, & eventually some cr-p labeled “neo-expressionism”, a style so insignificant it barely escaped the late-70s. given the paucity of talent in the artists who inspired them (e.g., amedeo modigliani, max jacob) it’s no wonder their works have the aesthetic appeal of a dog’s breakfast. truth be told, most were frustrated poseurs who couldn’t handle composition & perspective, & burned out on cocaine in the 70s to escape their anger at just missing the free-love movement of the 60s.
chip: hey, dale. i didn’t know hunter s. thompson did abstract expressionism painting… hope you didn’t spend much on that piece of cr-p you hung in the foyer.
dale: i’ll have you know that’s a michael petroni… one of neo-expressionism’s finest artistes!
chip: if that’s the good stuff, save me from the rest of it. and hang that monstrosity somewhere else, like the attic.

a skilless form of “art” in which people carelessly slap sh-tty brushstrokes and color together in a random fashion. abstract expressionists would have you believe that there is some sort of deeper meaning to their “paintings” than just a ridiculous decadence of actual art (which there isn’t).
people like jackson pollock and hans hofmann grew rich off of people who have no actual understanding of art through the use of abstract expressionism in their paintings.
