Lecture: “Abstract Expressionism of Jackson Pollock and the ‘Color Field Painting’ of Mark Rothko”

Why was Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis so influential in modern art starting from the 1920s?

In what ways did mid-20th-century artists attempt to express the unconscious in their work?

How did Peggy Guggenheim first help save European art from the Nazis, and then contribute to the birth of modern American art?

How did Jackson Pollock use expressive techniques to make abstraction “resonate” in a completely new way?

Why are we drawn to the “color fields” of Mark Rothko?

The lecture will be given by Vadim Nasledov — PhD in History, преподаватель и лектор.
