Abstract expressionist paintings share certain characteristics, including the use of large canvases, an "all-over" approach, in which the whole canvas is treated with equal importance (as opposed to the center being of more interest than the edges).

I believe Jackson Pollock

Second generation painters included Sam Francis (1923-94). Josef Albers. The term "Abstract Expressionism" was initially coined in Europe to describe works by German Expressionist painters. Only later, in 1946, was it applied to American art by the art critic Robert Coates.
