Description

Birth of the Cool presents art that developed in subtle deviation from the familiar movements of 20th century American painting though retaining their main characteristics as points of reference. The accentuation of the surface, the breaking up of illusionist space, the opening up of the painting's format to new dimensions in space and time are the lasting constants of American painting.
