It is my belief that the invention of photography was vital for push toward abstraction in art. Images of events in history did not need to be painted anymore, as photography could be used. It took less time to take a photograph of a scene than to paint one. This technological innovation allowed artists to focus on matters other that portrayal of a moment in history. This innovation led to the overall switch toward abstraction, as many of the art movements in Modernism included symbolic art that embodied ideas or emotions of the artist. During Modernism, abstract art and its components varied according to location and effect desired for the viewer. For example, in Russia abstract art used geometry. By using geometry, artists like Kazimir Malevich were able to portray and utopian goals, and art free from borders of objects. Russia was a socialist country during this time period, which aimed to reach utopia. On the other hand, artists in the United States used abstraction to project ideas. The message taken from the painting was more important than its actual appearance. “Reds” by Arthur Dove is an abstract collage created in 1926. Prior to researching the influence for creation of this collage, one may see it as a collage composed of random colors filling non-symmetric shapes, pencil lines, and an oddly placed circular wad of human hair. The focal point appears to be the hair, as the complementary colors of blue and orange are used around it. It is also evident that every…

The effects surrounding the societal switch was sparking new ideas and viewpoints in the world of art. Russian avant-garde artist, Kazimir Malevich, the inventor and pioneer of Suprematism, was a driving force in the development of today’s modern art community. His views and messages…

artist in each of the era’s have their own personal style and remarkable design. Artist strive for a unique style, this is which most do achieve by taking daily items and creating an extraordinary design. I do believe that modern art is consider art due to the unique way they interpret everyday objects into something more significant. The first piece of art I analyzed was the Suprematist Painting ( 8 Red Rectangles). This painting was created in 1919 in Russia. This artwork was created by…

movement’s founder, Kazimir Malevich, was influenced by both futurism and cubism, but most prominently he was influenced by Cubo-Futurism. Suprematism was incredibly significant in influencing the development of Constructivism and geometric abstract art, as well as modern day abstract art.…

Wassily Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich are both successive influential Russian painter that contributed to the art of abstraction through their distinctive use of colours. Thus both artists are acclaimed with their abstract works, they have dissimilar and coherent sensations for colours. Both artist used similar tones within their work and they all wanted to stimulate acoustic responds from their audience with their use of colour. However, Kandinsky hold a strong opinion towards the connection…

Fauconnier and Jean Metzinger. In 1916, she joined Kazimir Malevich’s Suprematist group, producing colourful, geometric, non-figurative works that would eventually inform her signature textile design style. Stepanova was born in 1894 to a lower income family. Like Popova, she joined avant-garde visual art circles around 1916. She also was profoundly influenced by Malevich’s artwork. In her early career, she appropriated Malevich’s style of overlapping geometric shapes atop a white background…

government and the masses. Lissitzky’s proun stage came to an end when a utopian world was no longer conceivable, and he had to face the reality of the world. Where Bois believes that Lissitzky’s prouns were an ingenious encompassment of abstraction and modernism of the time, T.J. Clark, another art historian, would beg to differ. In Clark’s eyes Lissitzky’s prouns were nothing in comparison with Kazimir Malevich’s geometric abstraction, Malevich being Lissitzky’s mentor. Clark claimed that…

early 20th century art and architectural theory, specifically Amedee Ozenfant 's and Le Corbusier 's formulation of Purism, in which objects were represented as basic machine-made forms stripped of all detail; Kazimir Malevich 's Tectons, which were scaleless architectural forms devised to accommodate the unimagined new social programs that the Russian Revolution anticipated; and El Lissitzky 's PROUNs, paintings of gravity-defying, defunctionalised, architectonic objects: what he enigmatically…
