'The big moment came when it was decided to paint... Just to paint. The gesture on the canvas was a gesture of liberation, from value political, aesthetic, moral'. Artnews December 1952, The American Action Painters By Harold Rosenberg. This is the first use of the term 'action painting' but what is its contemporary context? Is there a connection to our primal selves, our instincts are still present. The question here is are we trying to connect to our primal selves? Ref: cave paintings in the paleolithic era?.
