Detailed Description
Lyrical abstraction is a type of abstract art that is characterized by intense color and fluid forms. It is often associated with the work of French painters such as Joan MirÃÂó, Jean Dubuffet, and Georges Mathieu. Lyrical abstraction is often seen as a reaction against the formalism of geometric abstraction and the emotional coolness of minimalism. Instead, lyrical abstractionists sought to express their innermost feelings and emotions through their work. Famous artists who worked in the lyrical abstraction style include Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, and Barnett Newman. Some of the most famous paintings in this style are Pollock’s “Number 1, 1948” and Rothko’s “Untitled (Black on Maroon).”

<START OF TRANSMISSION>
1. Lyrical Abstraction is a term first used to describe a type of abstract painting by French art critic Jean-Louis Vauxcelles in 1945. 2. It is characterized by its highly expressive, often emotional, brushwork and is often associated with Abstract Expressionism. 3. Lyrical Abstraction artists sought to express themselves through their paintings, rather than to communicate any specific message. 4. The movement began in the 1940s and reached its height in the 1950s. 5. Many of the leading exponents of Lyrical Abstraction were American painters who had studied in Europe, such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko. 6. The style was also practiced by European artists such as Jean Dubuffet, Pierre Soulages, and Zao Wou-ki. 7. Lyrical Abstraction was partly a reaction against the non-objective approach of Abstract Expressionism. 8. While Abstract Expressionism tended to be more cerebral and concerned with the process of painting, Lyrical Abstraction was more intuitive and emotional. 9. Lyrical Abstraction artists often used bold colors and gestural brushstrokes to create dynamic and expressive paintings. 10. The style is sometimes seen as a precursor to Color Field painting and Post-Painterly Abstraction. 11. Lyrical Abstraction was also influenced by Surrealism, Cubism, and Expressionism. 12. Many of the artists associated with Lyrical Abstraction later moved away from the style, instead adopting a more minimal approach. 13. The term Lyrical Abstraction is sometimes used interchangeably with Abstract Expressionism, although the two styles are distinct. 14. Lyrical Abstraction should not be confused with Abstract Impressionism, another type of abstract painting that emerged in the 1950s. 15. Abstract Impressionism is characterized by its use of thin, delicate brushstrokes and muted colors, in contrast to the bolder and brighter style of Lyrical Abstraction. 16. While Lyrical Abstraction artists sought to express themselves through their paintings, Abstract Impressionists were more concerned with the act of painting itself. 17. Lyrical Abstraction reached the height of its popularity in the 1950s, but the style began to decline in the 1960s. 18. Many of the leading exponents of Lyrical Abstraction have since passed away, including Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko. 19. The style has been revived in recent years by a new generation of artists, although it remains a relatively niche movement. 20. Lyrical Abstraction is sometimes seen as a more accessible type of abstract painting, due to its more expressive and emotional nature.
