Some would say a defined, two-dimensional surface on which a painter applies medium in order to create recognizable imagery. But many painters find that definition limiting, and at various times they’ve challenged every aspect of it in order to be free. Their process, involved splashing, using gestural brushstrokes and dripping paint onto canvas rather than carefully applying it. The term 'action painting' was coined by Harold Rosenberg in his groundbreaking article The American Action Painters published in ARTnews in December 1952. Rosenberg was referring to artists such as Arshile Gorky, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, and Jackson Pollock.

The Act of Painting
Action Painting Mac Os 11
The name 'action-painting' was first used in 1952 by the American critic Harold Rosenberg (1906-78), in a review of avant garde art called 'The American Action Painters', which appeared in the December edition of Art News. According to Rosenberg, action-painting gave complete freedom to the painter's creative impulses, and made the act of painting more important than the work itself. This view echoed that of abstract expressionists like Pollock, Franz Kline (1910-62), and Willem De Kooning (1904-97), who had long championed the notion that painting was an arena in which the artist was engaged in a spontaneous creative struggle. In their view, painting was a drama of self-revelation. Another influential art critic, Clement Greenberg (1909-94), was equally taken with the idea of the existential-type 'struggle', citing the paintings' pitted, clotted and impastoed surfaces as physical evidence of what had occurred. (For an explanation of abstract expressionist paintings, like those produced by Pollock, de Kooning and Rothko, please see: Analysis of Modern Paintings: 1800-2000.)
