At this point, Schapiro goes into a general formal analysis and argument forthe non-technological, personal, human qualities of abstract paintingbased on the move away from external, objective representation tointernal, subjective sensations and states.While he does not refer to particular artists or works, but clearly has abstractpainters such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning in mind.This section is worth careful re-reading and reflection.Willem de Kooning, Painting, 1948Jackson Pollock, Autumn Rhythm, 1950Tuesday, February 7, 2012
