Abstract Expressionism, 1950's
Influenced by selective subconscious, which is believed to be expressed through symbols.
Jackson Pollock, two big influence, art and alcohol. He expresses the process is just as important as product. Looking at his work you can see his process. Extremely interested in the relationship between music and painting, like Jazz.
Pop Art, 1980's
Looking at the american throw-away/here today gone tomorrow society as bad. They were also a reaction against abstract expressionism.
Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichentstein and Andy Warhol are leading artists of this period.
