American Artists Carl Holty, Edward Dugmore, and Jack Roth each made significant contributions to the development of modern art in the United States though their artistic styles and approaches differed from one another significantly.

Carl Holty was a German-born American abstract painter who was instrumental in the formation of the Post-War Abstract Expressionist movement. Known for his use of bright colors and geometric forms, his work evokes a sense of cosmic energy and dynamism. Holty often sought to create a sense of harmony and balance through his use of color and form.

Edward Dugmore, on the other hand, was an American painter and sculptor who was associated with the Minimalist movement. He was known for his spare, minimalist compositions that emphasized simple shapes and clean lines often characterized by its starkness and austerity, sense of purity, and simplicity.

Jack Roth, meanwhile, was an American painter who was associated with the Color Field movement. He was known for his large, abstract canvases that featured bold, vibrant colors and subtle variations in hue and tone. Roth's work was often characterized by its luminosity and depth, and he sought to create a sense of radiance and transcendence through his use of color.
