If you want to know more things about abstract Figurative Art, this article will really help you. Even if you are searching for other abstract Figurative Art information, you have come to the right article.

Does my answer answer the question?
Q: What European political events and artistic movements influenced the development of American Abstract Expressionism? How?Most of the artists associated with Abstract Expressionism matured in the 1930s. They were influenced by the era’s leftist politics, and came to value an art grounded in personal experience. Few would maintain their earlier radical political view, but many continued to adopt the posture of outspoken avant-gardists protesting from the margins. Having matured as artists at a time when America suffered economically and felt culturally isolated and provincial, the Abstract Expressionists were later welcomed as the first authentically abstract Figurative Art American avant-gard. Around the same time frame, there was political instability in Europe. World War II was inflicted upon Europe and émigré artists had escaped to the United States which brought several leading Surrealists to New York, and many of the Abstract Expressionists were profoundly influenced by the style and by its interest in the unconscious. Other artists were stamped by the experience of the Depression, and they came to maturity while painting in styles influenced by social realism and the Regionalist movement. Abstract Expressionism is applied to any number of artists working (mostly) in New York who had quite different styles and even to work that is neither especially abstract nor expressionist. Abstract expressionism has an image of being rebellious, anarchic, and highly idiosyncratic and, some feel, rather nihilistic. For example, Pollock’s energetic “action paintings”, with their “busy” feel, are different, both technically and aesthetically, from the violent and grotesque Women series of Willem de Kooning’s figurative paintings) and the rectangles of color in Mark Rothko’s Color Field paintings (which are not what would usually be called expressionist and which Rothko denied were abstract). Yet all three artists are classified as abstract expressionists. If it fails to answer the question, then can you please tell me how I should add to it.
