Gestural painting is an art form where the paint is just splattered all over the canvas instead of being carefully brushed or stroked on. This creates a more abstract kind of painting than the traditional painting techniques create. This is sometimes called action painting, since it gives the impression of movement through the painting due to the way the paint falls.
The end goal of a gestural painting is to convey the act of painting itself through the painting instead of trying to convey a specific subject or landscape. There are many artists that are well-known for this kind of painting. Some of them are Michael Goldberg, William Green, and James Brooks. Many of these painters are American, but some are French.
