Abstract expressionism is an important art movement in 20th-century American art. It originated in the early 1940s and was closely related to the cultural and social background of the United States.

In the early 1940s, a group of young American artists began to explore a new form of art, trying to express their inner experiences through abstract forms and intense emotional expression. These artists included Jackson Pollock, William de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman, among others.

During this period, the artists of abstract expressionism began to use unconventional materials and techniques, such as the drip, smear, and splatter of oil paints, to create expressive works. Their works were usually abstract, amorphous, and dynamic, emphasizing the artist's inner experience and emotional expression.

In the 1950s, abstract expressionism became the mainstream of American art, and many artists began to join the movement. During this period, the artists of abstract expressionism began to explore more formalized and geometric forms of art, such as hard-edge abstraction and minimalism.

In the 1960s, abstract expressionism began to decline and was replaced by new art movements, such as pop art and minimalism. However, the influence of abstract expressionism can still be seen in contemporary art.
