Systemic painting
Systemic Painting was an exhibition at the Solomon Guggenheim Museum in New York City in 1966 , curated by Lawrence Alloway .
exhibition
The Systemic Painting exhibition brought together a group of American abstract painters. In the publication accompanying the exhibition, Lawrence Alloway describes those artists as representative of a movement within painting in the USA who attempted to distance themselves from Abstract Expressionism , which artistically can be seen as the predominant art movement within painting in the USA in the 1940s and 1950s . Alloway sees artists like Jasper Johns , Kenneth Noland and Frank Stella as pioneers for what he is putting together in the exhibition Systemic Painting . As early as the end of the 1950s, these artists had displaced expressionist expression in their painting in favor of a more technical, sober style of painting, dispensing with the gestural application of paint. A gestural mark was turned into a repeatable object (Lawrence Alloway). Industrial colors and a clear, unemotional painting style would be representative.
After the exhibition Primary Structures in 1966 at the Jewish Museum in New York, which essentially showed the sculptural positions of Minimal Art , Systemic Painting dealt with the comparable abstract painters of the same generation, who in comparable exhibitions and the related art critical texts as hard edge ( Jules Langsner), Post Painterly Abstraction (Clement Greenberg).
