Final Project: Annotated Bibliography

  • “Expressionism Movement, Artists and Major Works.” The Art Story, https://www.theartstory.org/movement-expressionism.htm

The Art Story was my introduction to the expressionism movement. I learned about its origin, key ideas behind the movement, and some of the artists who inspired the movement. What was also very useful was the three examples of some of the most famous expressionism artwork. I’ll be using this as background and base my three paintings off their examples.

  • “Faith Ringgold American People Series #20: Die 1967.” Lee Bontecou. Untitled. 1959 | MoMA, https://www.moma.org/collection/works/199915

Two of my paintings are from the MoMA but I decided to only use the MoMA website for one of them, Faith Ringgold’s, American People Series #20: Die. The reason being that for this particular painting there is a small description of the painting and an audio portion from Ringgold herself. I think hearing why Ringgold painted that particular piece and what she was hoping to share with people will help me better understand the emotional process an abstract expressionist undergoes.

  • Paul, Stella. “Abstract Expressionism.” In Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History. New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000–. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/abex/hd_abex.htm (October 2004)

The Met Heilbrunn timeline was my introduction into abstract expressionism. Where is emerged, what led to the creation of abstract expressionism, and some of the most recognizable abstract artists. What was also very useful about this article was it talked about the goal behind the artists’ decision in wanting to branch out and away from traditional conventions and what about the abstract movement made them stand apart.
