Reframing Abstract Expressionism: Subjectivity and Painting in the 1940s

Incredible research. More information than you would probably ever need to know about the way people in the 1940s thought about the alienated American self during the period from the 19th century up until the years after World War II.

While this book is packed with information, I am not a fan of the author's writing style and do not agree with his philosophical viewpoints on the different artists. If you are expecting more of a historically accurate angle with this book, you will be disappointed (in the sense that, this book is more on the philosophical side, rather than just spitting facts out at the reader). I attempted to find constructive criticism of this author (since this book has had numerous recommendations by well known art scholars in the field, I expected there to be some criticism floating around on the 'net), but could not find really anything

.It is very interesting & solid study about New York School of Art& Jackson Pollock.I wiil write more when I finish reading the book that makes me pleasure.It is increasing my knolewdge essential to understand better such problems like unconscious in abstract expressionism.The book shows cultural context of the movement.
