Rosenberg, Harold
Rosenberg, Harold (
b New York, 2 Feb. 1906;
d Springs, Long Island, NY, 11 July 1978). American writer, one of the most influential critics in the field of contemporary art from the 1950s until his death. Early in his career he wrote poetry and essays on literary and general cultural issues, and his first important work devoted to the visual arts was an article in
Art News in 1952 in which he coined the term
Action Painting. He was one of the major champions of
Abstract Expressionism, writing monographs on
Gorky (1962),
de Kooning (1974), and
Newman (1978). Unlike his rival Clement
Greenberg, who was concerned only with formal values, Rosenberg had an ethical and political conception of art, believing that the critic should less ‘judge it’ than ‘locate it’, subordinating visual analysis to intellectual understanding. He thought that authentic modern art should be perpetually disruptive and he attacked the manipulative fashions created by both the market place and the museum.
