The central works of Abstract Expressionism in the 1900's are featured in the aptly named exhibition Abstract Expressionism at The Royal Academy of Arts in London. I am more like a friend of the figurative art, so a bit prejudiced, but the exhibition was a fine experience. I fell love in Mark Rothko's (1903-1970) large colours studies. You can really sink into them and almost feel like melting into the colour mass of the paintings. Especially the yellows, oranges and reds were fascinating. Jackson Pollock's (1912-1956) huge colour mixtures were much more multi-level and tuneful seen in nature than what you might expect after seeing just printed pictures. Some Robert Motherwell's (1915-1991) black and white acrylic paintings shimmered like snow. And Clyfford Still's (1904-1980) many big paintings looked like Marimekko patterns.
