Few people fully appreciate how abstract art can complement their home living space. If you want to impress visitors to your home, displaying the right piece of art will do the job like nothing else. There's no need to clutter up your walls with paintings, removing all the empty space. A judicious piece of art mounted here and there though will make your bare walls so much more interesting.

The term Abstract Expressionism was first coined in 1919 in Der Sturm, a popular German art periodical. Today, most people connect it with the 1940s art movement that arose in the USA after the Second World War. Also known as the New York School, the movement boasted many famous artists, including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Franz Kline.
