Abstract Expressionism in painting (mid-20th century) has two identifying characteristics. One characteristic is nontraditional brushwork, and the other is nonrepresentational content. This approach leaves the artist free to reflect inner life and to create works with high emotional intensity. Absolute individuality of expression and the freedom to be irrational underlie this style.
