Lyrisk abstraktion

En gruppe kunstnere, overvejende fra Californien, skabte fra 1960’erne en lyrisk abstrakt kunst, der prioriterede det dekorative og håndværksmæssige element højt.

Grundstammen i denne nye bevægelse kom fra den såkaldte Los Angeles School. De forskellige kunstnere, der arbejdede indenfor maleri, skulptur, keramik og glas, var i klar opposition til de intellektuelle og toneangivende retninger fra New York som minimal art, conceptual art og pop art.

Lyric Abstraction

A group of artists mostly from California created from the 60s a lyric abstract art giving priority to the decorative and craftsmanlike element.

The stock in this new movement was the Los Angeles School. The various artists working with painting, sculpture, ceramics and glass were in distinct opposition to the intellectual and trendsetting schools from New York like Minimal Art, Conceptual Art and Pop Art.
