Action Abstraction - Splat!




Splat! Harkrader's hand bounces off the face of the canvas after aim, throw, release and contact. Action abstracts may leave evidence of an artist's body movement as clues of one's action on/above the canvas. Art history  was made when artist's; Pollock, de Kooning and Frankenthaler's action abstraction paintings transformed New York City into the post war mecca for the avant-garde.
