Post Painterly Abstraction

An artistic movement that derived from Abstract Expressionism and synthesised styles such as action painting, colour field painting and colourism to produce works characterised by precise and technical compositional categories of form, colour, texture, and scale. It became popular in the 1960s and was often used interchangeably with hard-edge painting, minimalism and lyrical expression.
