Abstract impressionism
Abstract impressionism is a term used to describe works with non-energetic, uniformal brushstrokes without any climax. The term describes those Abstract expressionists who have a brushstroke similar to Monet and other impressionists. It was coined by Elaine de Kooning, it was soon given by Louis Finkelstein (critic) to Philip Guston in an attempt to distinguish from Action Painting (another form of Abstract expressionism). Lawrence Alloway held and exhibition of the same name in 1958 and included, among others, Bernard Cohen , Harold Cohen , Sam Francis, Patrick Heron , Nicolas de Staël .
