Polcari provides an account of the contemporary artistic, intellectual and cultural history to establish a macrohistory of human beings under the pressures of war, fear, torment, and hope. Within this context, he convincingly presents Abstract Expressionism as a mode of modern, metaphysical 'history' painting that uses the forms and devices of modern art to come to terms with the brutality of contemporary history.Polcari, Stephen is the author of 'Abstract Expressionism and the Modern Experience' with ISBN 9780521448260 and ISBN 0521448263.
