How does this artwork elucidate its Abstract expressionism?
Woman VI is placing in the Postwar Abstraction collection in the Carnegie Museum of Art. This painting along with the collection are considering an important part of American art history. The history of Abstract Expressionism is tied closely to the history of post–World War II because it was an art movement that began in the 1940s. During and after World War II, as the center of international power moved to America, expressing itself most directly in New York city, a new art was born. In 1946, Robert Coates, the critic for the New Yorker, applied the term "Abstract Expressionism" to the work of certain of these New York-based painters, like de Kooning.
