| The
heritage of American landscape painting is well
founded by such artist as: George Inness, Edward
Hopper, Ralph Albert Blakelock, Albert Pinkham Ryder,
and others, who had the ability to infuse elements of
solidity,mystery, and poetic emotional content on the
painted surface..... The Abstract Expressionist were
another group of American painters whose message
included a departure from figuration, and the use of
mass, color, and abstract technique......... Franz
Kline's technique of sweeping bold stokes of black
paint derived from observations of steel in snow are
and inspiration to use an abstract vocabulary to
produce a figurative image ....With history and
romanticism,It may be that the South is the last
American frontier.
