Abstract Expressionism is a school of art that developed from Expressionism. It applied the principles of Expressionism to abstract art. The artist's brush strokes, the visible evidence of the process of creating the painting, together with the use of color, are the 'subject' of the painting.

The paintings of Mark RothkoJackson PollockWillem de Kooning, and Barnett Newman are good examples of Abstract Expressionists.
