D. Abstract artists throw out the rules and training people get from a very early age and pose new ideas.

Abstract Expressionism is a movement in modern art that emerged in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s. It is characterized by a rejection of traditional representational art and an emphasis on spontaneous, unstructured, and emotional forms of expression. One of the ways that Abstract Expressionism works against its environment is by challenging traditional notions of art and aesthetics. Abstract artists threw out the rules and training people get from a very early age and posed new ideas that challenged the established norms of the art world.
