Abstract Expressionism Universe
Gallery · Slow, spacious looking with restrained metadata and generous visual breathing room.

Five evidence-aware routes through the same AEU corpus. Choose by goal, not by a hidden recommendation score.
Beginner · 5 stages · about 35 min
A first route through contrasting works, competing definitions, and physical scale. The sequence is designed to break the idea that Abstract Expressionism is one look or one artist.
Student · 6 stages · about 45 min
A student route through The Club, Ninth Street, competing critical language, exhibition circulation, and transatlantic context, with dates and uncertainty kept explicit.
Artist / process · 7 stages · about 50 min
A process-oriented path through documented techniques, materials, formal structure, and bounded Studio experiments. It teaches variables and decisions without copying a named artist or reconstructing a historical work.
Teacher · 6 stages · about 55 min
A classroom-oriented route through recovery, contested canon, exhibition uncertainty, curation, and evidence-based play. It foregrounds what teachers should qualify rather than offering a one-story survey.
Deep research · 7 stages · about 65 min
A research path through critical definitions, gallery circulation, The Club, international circulation, primary bibliographic records, and explicit graph edges. The goal is to practice claim boundaries, not to produce a single movement doctrine.
All path content works without signing in. The portable AEU module does not create a learner profile, recommendation history, or local progress database.
AEU exposes each path as an ICU-saveable entity. If the parent ICU Save/My Universe service is available, it may save the path itself; AEU does not duplicate that service or silently persist step completion.
Path order is pedagogical. It never creates new historical influence, causal, membership, or quality claims. Every stage resolves to an existing AEU entity or audited interaction.
Teachers can turn existing evidence into a printable mini-lesson without creating a local LMS or learner profile.
ICU / CONNECTED DISCOVERY
Recommendations use ICU's bounded public graph. AEU source relationships keep documented fact, editorial mapping, contextual proximity, and interpretation distinct; proximity never becomes an influence claim.
