	Action painting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Action painting, sometimes called "gestural abstraction", is a style of painting in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied
		This spontaneous activity was the "action" of the painter.
		When he created his paintings, he would simply allow himself to slip into a trance in which no conscious act was to manifest itself; so if he had the instinctive impulse to throw his cigarette to the floor, he would do it, whether a sidewalk was beneath his feet, or even a canvas.

	Bill Ham Lights
		This was for me a natural extension of the techniques and purpose of action painting including a direct spontaneous method of working.
		And so, while the traditional elements of painting continued, several important new factors had to be dealt with, including: (1) the orchestration of time; (2) impermanence; (3) scale [amplification] (4) relationship to music; and (5) relationship to viewer-observer.
		The relationship of space-amplification (very similar to the musicians' use of sound-amplification) becomes significant and allows the freedom of scale sought by painters in action painting.

		Action Painting was a term coined by the critic Harold Rosenberg in 1952.
		The Action Painters considered the canvas as the temporal and spatial arena on which to imprint, without any figurative or literal reference, a record of the processes of its making.
		Action paintings are made by means as various as drips or splashes, as in the work of Jackson Pollock; naked women covered in paint and dragged over a canvas by Yves Klein; or the broad gestural brushstrokes of Willem de Kooning.

		The drips and splatters that characterize action painting reveal the artist's process of creation, which in Rosenberg's view was as important as the finished product.
		Pollock's style of painting differed markedly from that of the other action painters in that he placed his large canvases on the floor rather than working on an easel.
		This shift in the physical relationship of the artist to his canvas allowed him to develop a full-body gestural technique incorporating rhythmic movements that resembled dance and a snap-the-whip type wrist action that facilitated his exquisite control of the paint.

	Action Painting with Carol Ganick
		He application of paint, although influenced by her extensive education in formal art and design, is prompted more by her feelings and interactions with her work on an emotional level.
		She uses color and shape as a kind of language that conveys to the viewer a myriad of emotional and subjective responses.
		So what makes Carol's style of art more interesting than, say, a painting of a vase of flowers or of a beautiful landscape, is that her work can be both - and much more.

	E-Flux : Action Painting - (2004-11-17)
		Masterpieces by Pollock, Kline, de Kooning, Gorky and other exponents of what Harold Rosenberg called “Action Painting” will be on display in Modena during the autumn exhibition of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Modena.
		American abstract art, generally known to the public under the name of Action Painting, has complex origins and developments which, as of the early forties, lead to various spin-off currents: from abstract expressionism to the Irascible artists, the New York school and other movements that would continue their pursuits through to the seventies.
		The aim of the exhibition is to create a thematic voyage — rather than a simple artistic timeline — through the Action Painting avant-garde, combined with the abstract expressionism that had such an important influence on art since the Second World War.

		The awareness of this particular school of art enabled me, after much study, to discover a true action painting technique that has finally allowed me to express my true intentions on the canvas and be successful in the transmission and communication of those intentions to others.

		In the 1950s art critic Harold Rosenberg described the archetypal "action painter" as an artist who transformed his canvas into a modern-day arena wherein an epic struggle between man and material might unfold.
		With grand, heroically scaled gestures, the action painter created an art of confrontation and catharsis.
		Nearly half a century later, contemporary response to the rhetorical excesses that helped establish action painting as a "heroic" art form has been tempered, and the view of abstract expressionism as the triumph of American painting has fallen out of fashion.
