New York School (painting) (<modern North American fine arts styles and movements>, modern North American, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))
Note: Loosely refers to those painters who participated in the development of contemporary art beginning in the early 1940s and spanning the post-war period into the 1960s. The term is applied widely to disparate styles of work emerging during this period, but most specifically to innovations such as Abstract Expressionism and other forms of painterly abstraction. The phrase "New York School" is also applied to a group of postwar documentary-style photographers, but this should be considered a separate usage.
