Franz Kline
- Abstract Expressionist
- very dynamic , looking very spontaneous
- reminding me of Chinese calligraphy , and construction
Kline's brushstrokes became completely non-representative, fluid, and dynamic. It was also at this time that Kline began only painting in black and white. He explains how his monochrome palette is meant to depict negative and positive space by saying, "I paint the white as well as the black, and the white is just as important."
- his style is difficult for critics to interpret in relation to his contemporaries.
- Kline's works were only meant to look like they were done in a moment of inspiration; however, each painting was extensively explored before his housepainter's brush touched the canvas.
