Action Painting
Action painting, sometimes called "gestural abstraction", is a style of painting in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied. The resulting work often emphasizes the physical act of painting itself as an essential aspect of the finished work or concern of its artist. Background The style was widespread from the 1940s until the early 1960s, and is closely associated with abstract expressionism (some critics have used the terms "action painting" and "abstract expressionism" interchangeably). A comparison is often drawn between the American action painting and the French tachisme. The New York School of American Abstract Expressionism (1940s-50s) is also seen as closely linked to the movement. The term was coined by the American critic Harold Rosenberg in 1952, in his essay "The American Action Painters", and signaled a major shift in the aesthetic perspective of New York School painters and critics.

Plot A young couple is traveling in their car along the famous Highway 66, which runs through the Death Valley. Suddenly, they notice a strange pursuer behind them. This trip will turn to be a real repeated nightmare in a time loop for them. Reception Paul Mount of ''Starburst'' stated, "The resolution is quite clever if a little under-developed, the cinematography is superb for a low budget feature and the film works to create a sense of tension and unease rather than full-blooded horror (there’s nothing gory or unpleasant here)." Roger Crow of '' On-Magazine.UK'' commented, "So while it’s a relief that this isn’t just another stalk and slash thriller on an impressive desert highway, the twist, when it comes, is straight out of The Twilight Zone. Which is no bad thing." Leslie Felperin of ''The Guardian'' commented, "This lump ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
