Lecture 2 - Critical Review - By Hannah Greatorex - 10.10.14

The lecture delivered by Gary on the 10th   October was about Abstract Expressionism. They worked with arbitrary colours aswell as jarring compositions, they focused on capturing wild emotional reactions and captured emotions and subjective interpretations. 

On the other hand the post impressionists rejected impressionists concern with the spontaneous and naturalistic rendering of colour. 

Kandinsky would take expressionism a step further and developed abstract paintings which uses simple shapes and colour. 

The whole lecture was carefully structured and kept me focused from beginning to end.
