| Abstrakt: |
In this article, the author focuses on American art in comparison to nineteenth-century interest in Japanese popular art and the twentieth-century interest in Impressionism and Cubism. He describes that American painting has a new quality that attracts interest even behind the iron curtain. From international exhibitions it looks as though this painting style, which is more accurately called non-objective than abstract, is not a spontaneous growth contemporary in all countries, but that it has its greatest authority in New York. The new American painting comes from a variety of sources, mostly French and Japanese. |
