Action Painters such as Jackson Pollock
wished to portray paint texture and the
movement of the artist’s hand, showing
evidence of the “act” of painting.
Color Field painters such as Mark Rothko
were concerned with color and shape in
order to create peaceful and spiritual
paintings with no representative subject
matter.
Both groups shared a common goal
though: to express emotion.
