This study examines into the mental and formative aspects of Abstract Expressionism in order to seek the various methodologies that pursue the 'Ideal world view,' express one's own emotions, and serve as an opportunity that expose themselves through reorganization.
The current times, due to the development of mass media and global culture, sees exchanges of numerous national cultures, while their language, lifestyle, religion, and philosophies are mixed together.
The Western artists borrow the philosophy, ideas, legends, and myths of the East whereas the Eastern world naturally utilizes the Western values.
The diverse types of expressions used by artists, therefore, are sometimes difficult to identify and understand. Modern painting, specifically, moves its interest from visible to invisible internal world; the inner mentalities of artists are expressed through a number of methods. These works create varied styles and are extra-genre and subjective.
In order to find the opportunity to express one's world view based on single style and the feasibility to express one's emotions subjectively. The learned expression styles and the process of using color and substances comprehensively are tested in order to create a unique individual style.
Therefore, this study purports to verify and seek a own expression and painting style. Each work of art is symbolic in character and exists as an autonomous sign onto itself. Each is a pattern of expression, an emblem. An object of thinking separated from direct experiences an art emblem is an expression of this image. Symbols in painting are used as methods of internal expression and can be understood as non-linguistic signs mainly for describing feelings. In comparing the works of Paul Klee, in which such symbols and emblems appear as main elements, we find that, Klee symbolizes his feelings and expresses them through his visual experiences, namely, images of memory in the form of symbolic expression. Though his paintings are usually composed of lines, they sometimes describe a specific picture or poetic image. In addition, the kinetics of lines that he explored has been absorbed into the internal world of human consciousness and thus has become an emblematic symbol unique to him.
In his works, images symbolized in such a way appear as letters, alphabets, arrows, lively curves, objects symbolized by perspective contours, primitive forms, fish and birds, figures, eyes, the images of angels, etc. These are regarded as images of the internal conflicts of Klee himself. The emblematic symbols of these images were primitive, and essential to his interest in the expressiblity ofletters, and so naturally emerged as formative elements in his creation thus establishing the unique world of Klee's works.
Another significant objective of this study is developing a wider view on work and understanding the flow of time, becoming honest to the inner voice, gaining confidence on expressing a unique world view, and building on the capability to produce such work.
