Action Painters such as Jackson Pollock wished to portray paint texture and the movement of the artist’s hand, showing evidence of the “act” of painting.

Color Field painters such as Mark Rothko were concerned with color and shape in order to create peaceful and spiritual paintings with no representative subject matter.

Both groups shared a common goal though: to express emotion.
