Systemic Painting

The term Systemic Painting goes back to the 1966 exhibition organized by the influential art critic Lawrence Alloway (1926-1990) at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. The title of the exhibition also refers to the difficult-to-define art style that can be placed between Hard Edge and Minimal Art. With Systemic Painting, Alloway attempts to classify the new aesthetic, which, in contrast to Abstract Expressionism, had a great interest in a systematic pictorial language. In their works, the artists shown completely dispensed with expressive gestures and existential drama in favor of a cool, reductive, two-dimensional form of expression.
