Whitechapel Gallery | London Action, Gesture, Paint celebrates the women artists of mid-20th-century gestural abstrction and shows how they shaped modern painting. The story of abstract art took a radical turn in the 1940s. Fusing bodily, gestural and emotive expression with colour, mark-making and the materiality of paint, this new movement was termed - in the USA - as Abstract Expressionism.
