Abstract art

• Honestly, to understand and interpret art is actually very challenging. In addition, when it’s abstract art I admit that understanding abstract art can be very challenging. Like you can keep staring at them for days and still don’t get a single right thought what the artist is actually trying to convey to us. Abstracts are less immediate and less accessible. Mondrian’s abstract art is the type where he takes his image out of the realm of realism. We still can figure out the theme, but it is very unreal. Our eyes actually never experienced such images in this real world. There are a lot of color schemes, perspective, and proportions. Mondrian’s artwork is abstract and very intellectual. For example, the Grey Tree (1912) is a form of tree, but it’s not the exact same we would see in nature. Mondrian…

Abstract art took centre stage and provided novel experience for the viewer. Leading exponent of the movement was Jackson Pollock who used a stick and dripped paint onto the canvas or sometimes splattered it directly from a can to create seemingly random patterns. People found it difficult to understand his works and hence the nick name “Jack the Dripper”. His most important work remains Blue Poles (1952). Other exponents of abstract art were Lee Kransner, wife of Pollock who created Cool…

Pop Art versus Abtract Expressionism The Pop Art movement can be considered as a rejection or critique on it’s predecessor Abstract Expressionism. It differs both conceptually, and in its subject matter; and just like most art movements, it borrows and expands on all previous movements, creating its own path and style. While the the one evoked emotion simply with color and very little subject matter, the other veered away from the personal feeling but rather commented on the societal…

Wassily Kandinsky? For Wassily Kandinsky, music and color were inextricably tied to one another. So clear was this relationship that Kandinsky associated each note with an exact hue. He once said, “the sound of colors is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with bass notes or dark lake with treble.” 3. How did shape and line compliment his ideas on colour? His works after Murnau with Church II became increasingly abstract in his attempt to express…

Along with materials and objects, space and time period also influence art. No matter what the artist portrays, the audiences perceive it and appreciate it in different ways.
