Painting and abstract art 1


Abstract Art and Painting image:

abstract art is one without a recognisable subject, one which doesn't relate to anything external or try to "look like" something. Instead the colour and form(and often the materials and support) are the subject of the abstract painting. It's completely non-objective ornon representational.
abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colours, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential."Abstract art that is more fluid (and where the apparent spontaneity often belies careful planning and execution),such as the abstract art of Kandinsky or Pollock.And A further distinction tends to be made between abstract art which is geometric, such as the work of Mondrian.In Western art history, the break from the notion that a painting had to represent something happened in the early 20th century. Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism and other art movements of the time all contributed by breaking the "rules" of art followed since The Renaissance. Impressionism saw painters not "finishing" their paintings. The Fauvists used colour in a non-realistic way. Cubism introduced theidea of painting an object from more than one view point. From all of these the idea developed that colour, line, form, and texture could be the "subject" of the painting.
