- Summary:
- Albert Irvin and American Abstract Expressionism', published to accompany a major exhibition at the RWA, Bristol, will look at the implication of the 1959 Tate Exhibition?The New American Painting? on the work of one of Britain?s best loved colourist and abstract artists - Albert Irvin RA.?The New American Painting? was the first time the Abstract Expressionists were shown in Britain en masse. It shifted the attention from Paris to New York as the centre for advanced tendencies in the visual arts.
