Why do we like abstract art?
Abstract art is a key movement in modern art that began in the twentieth century. The disparity between art and natural appearances was highlighted in some way by all of the major changes of the first two decades, including Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, and Futurism.
Since its inception in the early 1900s, abstraction has perplexed, outraged, and been the subject of debate among artists and spectators alike. Artists trace these roots back to French Fauvism and Pablo Picasso's and Braque's Cubism, which abstracted color and shape from nature, and then journey through the various incarnations of abstract art throughout history, including the Geometric, Abstract Expressionist, de Stijl, Technological, and Lyrical.
Abstract art's history:
The origins of abstraction in the west can be traced back to the early twentieth century. Many artists saw a need for a modern way to represent the world as technology advanced rapidly in the previous century. As a result, both society and the universe are perceived to have improved due to these advancements. Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian-born artist, founded the movement in the late 1800s. His unique vision on the function of art emphasized integrating the visual and auditory senses.
Cubism and Fauvism
In ancient art and non-western cultures' art, there was at least some degree of abstraction. In western countries, the influence of these cultures was visible in the Fauves of France. The name comes from a comment made by French art critic Louis Vauxcelles at the Salon de 1905, after seeing a quattrocento-style statue in works by Matisse and his contemporaries. 'Donatello amid the Fauves!' he exclaimed. ('Donatello in the Land of the Wild Beasts') In depicting scenes, they used non-naturalistic pigment.
Abstract Expressionism is a style of painting that focuses on
However, until the 1970s, abstraction was infused with a celebration of science, which prioritized technical 'constructions' over the inward-looking person.
Abstract art's influence on contemporary design:
Fashion, furniture, architecture, advertisement, and just about any other new design product feature abstract art designs. It's just the latest demonstration of an ancient trend: designers influenced by art, whether it's a shoe line inspired by Op Art, champagne flutes inspired by a Dan Flavin installation, or set decoration on a hip hop video inspired by James Turrell. It was on this foundation that the Bauhaus was built: a complete art form that encompassed all aesthetic phenomena.
Influences with a Low Impact:
Minimalism was one of the most common abstract art styles in the 1970s, and one of its most prominent voices was Donald Judd. Judd and his peers aspired to create radically different work from that of previous abstractionists, especially the Abstract Expressionists.
