An emerging law professional and entrepreneur, Jacob Scholl is expected to conclude his Juris Doctor in 2020 from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. He is a member at large of the Criminal Law Association since 2018. When Jacob Scholl is not busy studying to become a criminal defense attorney, he enjoys painting abstract expressionism.
Abstract expressionism, also known as color field painting or action painting, started to be acknowledged in the artistic community after World War II, specifically in the early 1940s. Some artists of the abstract expressionist movement were Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, and Lee Krasner. They used to develop their works by overlapping inspirations and sources.
The abstract expressionism’s visual characteristics include energetic applications of paint and messiness, amorphous shapes, brilliant colors, and usually, it does not include a recognizable subject. Often, in this style of art, the artist uses an unprimed canvas and drips, flings, slathers, and smears paint on it. The color field artists typically fill the plane of the picture very carefully, with zones of color, which create tension between hues and shapes.
