Action/Abstraction: Pollock, de Kooning and Americn Art, 1940-1976, on view at the Jewish Museum through September 21, provides a fresh look at the developments that transformed American art after World War II. Fifty works by 31 artists--from Absbtract Expressionist painters Pollock, Krasner, de Kooning, Rothko, Still and Newman, and sculptors Lassaw, Ferber and Smith, to "post-painterly" abstractionists and color field painters of the 1960s and 1970s--are viewed from the perspectives of the influential art critics Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg. Highlights include Pollock's monumental 1952 canvas, Convergence (Illustrated), de Kooning's dynamic Gotham News, 1955, and Arshile Gorky's The Liver is the Cock's Comb, 1944, all from the collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, which collaborated on the show. Also on view are Krasner's Blue and Black, 1953-55, Helen Frankenthaler's Mountains and Sea, 1952, and Frank Stella's Marriage of Reason and Squalor, 1959. Don't miss this opportunity to see an outstanding collection of major works by some of America's most important postwar painters and sculptors, and to learn how the Greenberg-Rosenberg rivalry influenced the artists' careers.
