Post-painterly abstraction
Term used in 1964 by art critic Clement Greenberg to describe the works of certain American artists (E. Kelly, M. Lewis, K. G. Nolad, Olitski) who used large surfaces of placate color, free of any modulation by the use of brush. It is a tendency that is often described by the term “Color Field Painting”, although this expression is referred to the work of an older generation of artists (Y. Klein, B. Newman, and A. Reinhard).
