«La escuela de Nueva York» is Dore Ashton's essay on abstract expressionism, published by Cátedra in its Cuadernos Arte collection in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Dore Ashton reconstructs the cultural and intellectual environment in which the New York School emerged, from the 1930s to the international recognition of American painting in the 1950s. The essay analyses the movement's sources, such as the WPA programme and the arrival of European ideas, and addresses the work and concerns of artists like Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Arshile Gorky, with documentary photographs from the period.
Work originally published in 1973 as The New York School: A Cultural Reckoning; this Spanish edition is from 1988 and belongs to the Cuadernos Arte Cátedra collection.
Aimed at readers interested in the history of contemporary art and in the social and cultural context of abstract expressionism.
Dore Ashton was a writer, professor and critic on modern and contemporary art.
