Hans Hartung 1904–1989

Nemačko-francuska Born: Лајпциг Gesturalni apstraktni ekspresionizam Wikipedia: 15/32 languages

Priča o Hansu Heinrichu Hartungu je priča o dubokom pokretu, kako fizičkom, tako i duhovnom. Rođen 1904. godine u istorijskom gradu Lajpcigu u Nemačkoj, Hartungovo rano svesno iskustvo oblikovalo je duboko poštovanje prema majstorima svetlosti i senke. Njegove formativne godine prožete su emotivnom snagom evropskog ekspresionizma, crpeći snagu iz dela Rembrandta i sirove, visceralne energije nemačkih slikara kao što su Lovis Corinth i Emil Nolde.

Robert Motherwell 1915–1991

Američka Born: Абердин Apstraktni ekspresionizam Wikipedia: 16/32 languages

Robert Motherwell (24. januar 1915. – 16. jul 1991) stoji kao jedna od najuticajnijih figura američkog apstraktnog ekspresionizma, pokreta koji je neopovratno izmenio tok umetnosti dvadesetog veka. Rođen u Aberdeenu, u državi Vašington — gradu duboko prožetom škotskim nasleđem — Motherwellov rani život obeležila je astma i snažna povezanost sa pejzažom Severozapadnog Pacifika, što je oblikovalo njegov umetnički senzibilitet od samog početka.

Франц Клајн 1910–1962

Američka Born: Вилкс-Бери Apstraktni ekspresionizam Wikipedia: 17/32 languages

Rođen u Vilks Baru, u Pensilvaniji, 1910. godine, njegov život obeležile su rane teškoće – samoubistvo oca, kada je imao svega sedam godina, bacilo je dugu senku, oblikujući senzibilitet koji će kasnije pronaći izraz u oštrim kontrastima koji definišu njegovu umetnost.

Zao Vu Ki 1920–2013

Born: Пекинг ['Art Deco iz 1920-ih', 'Ekspresionizam', 'Apstraktna umetnost'] Wikipedia: 12/32 languages

Decenija 1920-ih nije bila samo vremenski period; bila je to eksplozija – erupcija kreativnosti, buntovništva i duboka promena u načinu na koji je umetnost odražavala svet i komunicirala sa njim. Ovo doba je bilo svedok rađanja pokreta kao što su Dadaizam, Surrealizam i Art Deco, od kojih je svaki nudio poseban prizmu kroz koju možemo posmatrati stvarnost – i često je preispitivati.

Клифорд Стил 1904–1980

Американац Born: Грандин Апстрактни експресионизам Wikipedia: 12/32 languages

Kliford Stil, rođen 1904. godine u prostranim pejzažima Grandina, Severna Dakota, predstavlja ključnu figuru u evoluciji američke umjetnosti. Iako često zasenjen savremenicima poput Džeksona Poloka i Marka Rotka, Stilov doprinos bio je temeljan; on se ranije od mnogih svojih vršnjaka upustio u nefigurativno slikarstvo, utirući put novom vizuelnom jeziku koji bi duboko uticao na modernu umjetnost.

Richard Diebenkorn, rođen u Portlandu, Oregon, 1922. godine, krenuo je putem koji će ga učiniti jednom od najznačajnijih američkih slikara poslijeratne ere. Ova urođena strast odvela ga je na Univerzitet Stanford 1940. godine, gde je susreo ključne mentore poput Viktora Arnautoffa, koji je usadio rigoroznu klasičnu disciplinu sa uljanim bojama, i Daniela Mendelowitza, koji je dijelio njegovu divljenje za evocativni realizam Edwarda Hoppera.

Ad Reinhardt, rođen kao Adolf Fridrih Rajnhardt u Bufalu, Njujork, 24. decembra 1913. godine, bio je figura koja je svoj život posvetila ne samo stvaranju umetnosti, već i definisanju onoga što bi umetnost mogla da bude. Ova intelektualna radoznalost odvela ga je na Univerzitet Kolumbija, gde je studirao istoriju umetnosti pod uticajnim Mejjerom Šaproom, što je iskustvo duboko oblikovalo njegovo razmišljanje o estetici i ulozi umetnika.
