Origins of Abstract Painting:
Delve into the captivating realm of abstract art, where artists break free from the constraints of representation and venture into the boundless territories of form, color, and emotion. While abstract elements have always existed in art, the deliberate pursuit of abstraction emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with pioneers like Wassily Kandinsky, who sought to convey spiritual experiences through non-representational forms. Kandinsky famously proclaimed, "Color is a power which directly influences the soul."
This revolutionary movement challenged traditional notions of art, with artists like Piet Mondrian embracing geometric abstraction, stating, "Art is higher than reality." Abstract Expressionism further expanded the boundaries of the movement, with artists like Jackson Pollock exploring spontaneous gestures and expressive colors. Curator Clement Greenberg noted, "The essence of Modernism lies... in the use of the characteristic methods of a discipline to criticize the discipline itself." Today, abstract art continues to thrive, captivating audiences with its boundless capacity for interpretation. We will be exploring this evolution in detail in our upcoming blog posts, so stay tuned to discover the world of abstract art!
