More About the Modern Art Movement of Abstract Art
Welcome to the Modern Art movement of Abstract Art. This work was written to try and help you get an essence of how Abstract Art originated and to summarize what it was about. Abstract Art was just one of the art style to prevail over the last century. Hopefully from studying these writings you will be able to discover how one current art movement induced another art movement of the time. You will be able to learn how certain modern art methods were notably influential in the production and vision of a new modern art movement. We have seen Expressionism, Impressionism, Fauvism, minimalist, Op Art, Pop Art, Surrealism Post impressionism, and other Abstract art movements. Now it is time to read about the art movement of Abstract Art. Please enjoy the piece:
The Avant-garde painting style of abstract art started early last century. Abstract art is distinct from other art genres because of the fact that it blurs the boundries of many other painting styles.
One illustration of abstract art blurring the lines between other Modern Art movements is when Cubism or Futurism was first conceived. Critics regarded both of these art genres as abstract.
The basis for these modern art movements being termed as, ‘Abstract Art’ was due to their qualities of taking the non visual aspects of an object and portraying that quality within the visual element of the painting. One example is ‘emotions’. Emotions can’t be seen but can be interpreted by the artist and therefore portrayed within the painting, this was seen as abstract.
The meaning of Abstract art these days is more suited to that of Abstract Expressionism whereby an artist will express their creativity through a subconscious process, resulting in a painting that is non-objective and non-representational.
This leads to the definition of Abstract art. Abstract art is purely non-objective and non-representational. I.e. it isn’t based on any visual aspect of an object. An object isn’t even considered at any point during the creation process of a piece of Abstract art.
Artists that are deemed as Abstract art artists are the likes of Wassily Kandinsky (who’s art is also deemed as Expressionism). Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Barnett Newman and Franz Kline (Who’s art is deemed as Abstract Expressionism). Piet Mondrian (Who’s art is deemed as De Stijl). Bridget Riley (Who’s art is deemed as Op Art).
