Many artists in the late 1960s worked in an abstract expressionist style, exploring both gestural abstraction and color-field painting. Despite painting’s supposed decline in New York at the time, unprecedented experimentation in the medium such as Ed Clark’s use of the push broom and Frank Bowling’s paint pouring technique demonstrate the freeform and highly innovative breakthroughs in abstraction in this period.Posted by Rachel LewisInstallation views of Frank Bowling’s Dan Johnson’s Surprise (1969) and Texas Louise (1971) ⇨  Ed Clark’s Untitled (1978-1980) and Alma Thomas’s Mars Dust (1972) ⇨ and Ed Clark’s Yenom (#9) (1970) in  Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power Brooklyn Museum, September 14, 2018–February 3, 2019.
