In your video supplements and reading for this week (Chapter 16: Abstract Expressionism and the New American Sculpture), you will learn how artists associated with Abstract Expressionism had diverse sources of inspiration, such as spirituality, poetry, history, urban life, etc. Many were also influenced by the philosophy and techniques of previous movements like Surrealist or by non-Western and ancient art forms.

In your post for this week, you will choose an artist discussed in the chapter, present a work not shown in the text, and elaborate on what may have inspired the evolution of their art. Please look at the discussion before writing your post since it is best to write about a unique topic if possible, and be sure that your comments to other students express your ideas and perspective on their post (it can help to do a little additional research to learn more before you comment).

Your book will give you insights into possible topics, but be sure to expand on what is covered in the reading. For instance, if an artist is inspired by “mythology”, what specific myths did they explore? If they are inspired by a visual art form, include an additional image which is relevant to the source of their inspiration. If it is literary or historical, be sure to include additional details or even a short quote.
