About abstract painting
There abstract painting is different from figurative painting in that this type of art does not seek to represent reality but encourages the viewer to focus on their feelings. It is a type of non-figurative art in the present tense that allows for an emotional and visual experience to be created.abstraction is therefore opposed to figuration. Figurative paintings can be seen in a variety of old paintings as well as in museums. These are paintings composed of a scene or a person, for example... whereas in a abstract work, the artist does not seek to represent reality. This type of art is a way to explore one's own feelings. Created towards the end of the 19th century, the abstract painting has experienced a resurgence in art, although at first this type of painting was highly contested. Today, abstract painting is highly sought after and highly prized and can be seen in art galleries, as well as in various private collections.
The History of Abstract Painting
Some artists like Degas, Pissaro or Monet were not invited to the artists' salon because they were not considered figurative artists but rather abstract artists. They did not necessarily conform to the academic standards of their time. The artists' goal was to express their emotions, without seeking to represent the real world on canvas. Vasily Kandinsky is considered the innovator of theabstract art and we usually associate abstraction with the artist. Kazimir Malevich Kupka as well as Piet Mondrian are all notable painters in the world of abstraction. In 1910, Kandinsky published his book "The Spiritual in Art and in Painting in Particular", in which he explained that abstract painting is a spiritual art for him. A few years later, the concept of "abstract watercolor" was created. This is how abstract art was created as a new type of painting that touches us all with its sensitivity. Later, other abstract paintings were created such as the famous "Black Square on a White Background" in 1915, and the "White Square on a White Background" in 1918 by the artist Kazimir Malevich. The artist later declared that his ideology was Suprematism. Lyrical abstract painting is also a result of 1912 due to Vassily Kandinsky's "black arc painting", as it is performed to music.
The artist Kandinsky suffered from synesthesia, which is the ability to represent music through color. The combination of sound and music allows the artist to create harmonious compositions through the use of shapes and colors. In contrast to lyrical abstract paintings, geometric abstraction was also able to see the dawn of day. It is an art form that relies mainly on geometric patterns.The combination of lines, circles and triangles, as well as squares, is also experiencing a revival in the art world and, in addition, the artist Mondrian who later on work mainly using right angles. In the development of abstraction, Robert and Sonia Delaunay are also pioneers in their art, which the renowned poet Apollinaire will later call Orphism. Orphism is named in honor of the mythological creature Orpheus, as well as the title of the poet's works. Orphism is more the lyrical form of abstraction than geometric abstraction. Abstract painting has made the subject perceptible, but a different language emerges as emotion and the senses. Today, modern art gives a wonderful place to abstract art.
