Additional Information:
One of the key proponents of Lyrical Abstraction in the UK, John Hoyland was influenced by both the American and European postwar abstract movements. For Hoyland, non-figurative painting was not about capturing some absolute, each composition conveys a specific event, feeling or emotion. A move toward subjectivity and the portrayal of personal experience in art coincides with the departure of postwar abstract painters from Geometric Abstraction.
