WHAT IS ABSTRACT ART? 



Abstract painting breaks free from realistic representation to express each artist's unique vision of the world. The aim is no longer for the public to recognize a landscape or a scene, but to discover an unknown reality, a new sensory experiencee.

Characterized by shapes, colors, and lines, abstract art does not represent concrete objects but rather seeks to create a unique visual experience. It does not appeal to the viewer's reason but to their heart and senses.

 

Various techniques in the abstract paintings


The techniques are becoming increasingly innovative to provide an ever-expanding palette of sensations.

Acrylic paint, prized for its versatility, mimics fluidity and movement in abstract paintings, offering boundless creative options in color and texture. Acrylic abstract painting is a modern technique that is popular with many artists.

Collage is also much appreciated for the relief aspect it gives to the abstract painting. The abstract watercolor technique is also used. Many artists use mixed techniques such as photography and painting with a knife.

This diversity liberates artists from reality, enabling experimentation with layering, scraping, and dripping for dynamic abstract expressions.

 

Analyze an abstract work


The important thing is to appreciate the emotion of contemporary abstract works, the feeling of the observers that abstract painting conveys. You can set aside your reasoning and habits for a while.
In summary, the only thing we can recommend is to analyze art by feeling and experiencing it through your emotions and imagination.

 

SHORT HISTORY OF ABSTRACT PAINTING



Abstract art emerged in the second half of the 20th century. In the 1830s, the invention of photography, which was a rival to painting, challenged the painters who no longer felt useful to represent and figure the world. Thus they began to question their purpose.

From now on, artists no longer seek to represent the world faithfully but to translate it through the prism of their sensitivity, their history, and their experience. They are more interested in the way of painting than in the subject.

 

Vassily Kandinsky and abstract art


Even if he was criticized as an "incurable madman", the painter Vassily Kandinsky is recognized as THE founder of abstract art.

The first artist to free himself from figurative representations, he considered that the forms, the colors, and the matter are enough to create an emotion without the need to refer to anything. According to him, this is the path to follow to create a universal art that crosses continents and eras, because the emotion is timeless.

 

Other abstract painters


Other Russian artists, such as Kasimir Malevich or Sonia Delaunay, are regarded as pioneers of abstract painting, as it was in Russia that this style first gained prominence.

Other pioneers of abstraction have left their names in the history of painting: Piet Mondrian, a Dutch painter who focused on space on the canvas or Robert Delaunay, a French abstract painter..
