Abstract Impressionism
Exploring the concept of 鈥淎bstract Impressionism鈥� often proposed as a distinction between European abstraction and American Abstract 鈥淓xpressionism鈥�.
When the critic Pierre Gu茅guen referred to Andr茅 Lanskoy鈥檚 鈥渋mpressionnisme abstrait鈥� in the catalogue of the artist鈥檚 1957 exhibition at Galerie Louis Carr茅, it was a much debated term, often proposed as a distinction between European abstraction and American Abstract 鈥淓xpressionism鈥�. The implication being that European abstract painters more often derived their inspiration from the external optical perception of the physical world, as opposed to the American 鈥淎b Ex鈥� self-referential narrative of manifesting the inner emotions of the artist鈥檚 psyche or 鈥渟oul鈥�.
