“Second generation” as variable historical framing, 1950s–1971
MoMA’s 1971 Younger Abstract Expressionists exhibition grouped artists with distinctly individual styles who matured during later phases of Abstract Expressionism. AEU therefore treats “second generation” as a historical/critical lens, not a tendency or homogeneous movement assignment.
