Answer 1

In my perspective, Abstract Expressionism, as an art movement indeed exemplifies individualism and freedom. Abstract Expressionism broadly holds art as an expression of the self, born out of profound emotion and universal themes. At the same time, it exercises considerable freedom and spontaneity in terms of the technique and execution to attain this goal. Because of these very qualities, the movement comprised diverse artistic styles varying considerably from each other.
