lyrical abstraction
Expressive color fields
Lyrical abstraction is a style of abstract painting that emphasizes personal expression, gesture, and color over geometric form or hard edges.
Emerging in the 1940s and revived in the 1960s, it favors intuitive, painterly approaches—flowing brushwork, atmospheric fields of color, and emotional spontaneity: Her canvases exemplify lyrical abstraction's emphasis on mood over structure.
