Publisher's Note
'The Abstract Expressionism' that swept through San Francisco just after World War II challenged accepted modes of painting with an energetic style that was bold, free-spirited, and highly experimental. In this first comprehensive examination of the movement, Landauer surveys the achievements of a vital group of Abstract Expressionists that paralleled the New York School.

Industry Reviews
"The thesis that Landauer lays out is completely convincing...I, for one, will never look at AbEx painting in quite the same way again."
Los Angeles Times - Christopher Knight

"Ms. Landauer's study is excellent art history, accessible, interesting, and not burdened by abstract theory. Indeed, one comes away from looking at the pictures, with the desire (the need actually) to revist them again and again."
Boston Book Review - Michael Prokopow

"This book ranks as one of the more important recent contributions to the history of postwar American art."
