Before the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, there were people who believed that Art held the answer to “that Ultimate Question: the Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything”. Producing some of the most daring and confounding art on the planet, the Abstract Expressionists threw subjects out of the room in order to focus on their feelings. It didn’t always end well. 

​

Like a drunkard at a party who won’t shut up about his recent breakup, these are artists who almost dare you not to like them. Fortunately for us, they fail completely. 

 

This is one of my favorite periods of Art, because it is impossible not to have an opinion. I’ve seen people change their minds in real time, and partners surprise each other with their reactions.  If you like stimulating conversation, this is the one for you.
