Neo-Expressionism |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.03 sec. |
Neo-ExpressionismArt movement, chiefly of painters, that dominated the European and American art market in the early to mid-1980s. It was controversial both in the quality of its production and in the highly commercialized aspects of its presentation. Its practitioners, including Julian Schnabel and Anselm Kiefer, reacted to the highly intellectualized abstract art of the 1970s by creating dramatic, gestural paintings that incorporated some figurative elements and recognizable symbols. Their art was characterized by a tense yet playful presentation of objects in a “primitivist” manner, vivid colour harmonies, large scale, and a sense of inner tension and alienation.

| Still, this exhibition does gesture beyond the labels, like neo-expressionism or Neue Wilde, that have often defined Immendorff, providing a glimpse of the complexity of his practice and hinting that to pigeonhole his oeuvre under such reductive terms is to gravely misunderstand it. This leads to the neo-expressionism trend of the 1980s. After the chapter about Marseilles that frankly unveils nothing new, and even omits to mention the role of Claudius Petit, Jencks comes to Ronchamp which he considers an opening to fractal design, and the catalyst of Neo-Expressionism. |
