Abstract expressionism ArtsEdge Lesson Plan: The New York School: Action and Abstraction 
 Lesson plan for high school students about "the influences that one artistic genre has on another -- specifically, the similarities between the New York School poets and Abstract Expressionist visual artists." The lesson invites students to compare Frank O'Hara's poem, "The Day Lady Died," with "Painting No. 7" by Franz Kline. From the National Arts and Education Network (ArtsEdge), a program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. http://artsedge.kennedy-center.org/content/3797/ Topics: Poetry, Schools of Art Last updated Mar 21, 2006 Concrete Abstractions: Aaron Siskind
Collection of photographs by Aaron Siskind, who "was a politically engaged photographer active in New York's Photo League during the 1930s, when his most ambitious project was a documentation of life in Harlem. But by 1943, his work turned toward abstraction, anticipating the Abstract Expressionism of post-war painting." Photos span the period of 1944 through 1988.
