Radical American Art with Anthony White
Abstract Expressionism comes in many styles, from Pollock’s drips to De Kooning’s lyrical abstractions, but what draws these artists together is not only an interest in radical politics but the conviction that abstract painting was the most compelling form of art for a post-war world.
