Abstract expressionism is a postâ World War II art movement in American painting, developed in New York in the 1940s.It was the first specifically American movement to achieve international influence and put New York City at the center of the western art world, a role formerly filled by Paris.ne of the most vocal critics of abstract expressionism at the time was New York Times art critic John Canaday. Meyer Schapiro and Leo Steinberg along with Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg were important art historians of the post-war era who voiced support for abstract expressionism.
The term Abstract Expressionism was also difficult to understand. Harold Rosenburg preferred the phrase Action Painting and art critic Clement Greenberg preferred American Type Painting. Because of the concentration of Abstract Expressionism artists in New York it was also known as the New York School.ean-Paul Riopelle first introduced Abstract Expressionism to Europe in Paris in the 1950s. Two years later art curator Michel Tapi 's groundbreaking book Un Art Autre was enormously influential in promoting the movement in Europe. Tapi promoted the works of Pollock and Hans Hoffman in exhibitions across Europe.
