+**Action Painting** is a dynamic style of [Abstract Art](/wiki/abstract_art) where paint is applied with vigorous, spontaneous gestures, emphasizing the physical act of creation. The canvas becomes an arena for the artist's direct engagement, often seen as a powerful form of [Expressionism](/wiki/expressionism).
