What is the diffrence between Abstract Expressionism and Minimalist Abstraction?

In abstract expressionism the painter is showing his or hers own energy through the brushstroke. The viewer can feel the painters emotions by following the jabs, swirls, swashes and marks the artist made. This can be experienced in viewing Rothenbergs objects, edges and surfaces in her subjects and her backgrounds. Minimalist abstraction is summed up in the quote "LESS IS MORE" Minamalist abstraction says that if you put one mark on a page that one mark gets 100% of the attention. If you add another mark the first mark only gets half the attention, and so on so that as you add more things each of the individual things loses some of its impact. Rothenberg's simplifies in Minimalist ways creating powerful impact in paintings that are hiding real subjects within abstractions of gorgeous colors, sumputious surfaces, and beautiful brush strokes. The woman certainly know how to push paint. She is an artists artist. Here is a large image of Ghost Rug for you: more
