of the new look of the United States, a new art for emerged called abstract
expressionism. Artists displayed personal expression in their large pieces of
art. One museum that became very popular during the abstract expression
days was the New York Museum of Modern Art. It was at this museum
where some of the best expressionists displayed their work. You could find
paintings from Jackson Pollack, and Clifford Still. These artists make up
the �New York School.� They had their fans, and their haters but they
were mostly popular in New York and the east coast. Artists that did not
believe in the abstract expressionism used a different technique to create
what they call existentialism. African American painters emerged in the
1950�s. Some well known black artists were sculptor Charles Alston,
painter Aaron Douglass, and the muralist John T. Biggins. They focused
their artwork mainly on daily life and rituals. They wanted the people to
believe that they were expressing the people.
