Expressionism Avant-garde art has correspondingly been concerned less with the physical reproducton of visual and tangible realities than with psychic and cerebral processes . These have presented all the more challenge to the artist, in that the irrational components in them have surfaced, during world wars and other political crises, into social reality itself. In order to deal with this irrationalism, art has oscillated between extreme forms of abstraction and dematerialization on the one hand , and highly distorted and exagger~ted forms of realism and materiality on the other, not infrequently manifested in the same work. At the one pole, artists sought inner-directed mental and psychic energy; at the other, a sublimation of outer-directed p_hy~ical energy. In the postwar era, abstract expresSIOnism sought to reconcile the two poles with an art abstract in content and physically energized in form. This was believed to represent a kind of creative quintessence with the violence and gratuitousness of the physical gesture conveying pure and naked spiritual energy. The work of art stood as an emblem of the transformation of a once-material, once-functional object , ~ painti~g , into a state of pure creative gestur~ , which re~a1ned, however, highly sublimated symbol!~ ~onnect1ons _to the physical effort traditionally or atavJ_stJcally associated With nonartistic economic production-labor.
