Abstract Art

Abstract Art This type of art deals with abstracting an image or having one that may be purely unidentifiable. The purpose of this type of art is to convey a feeling or sensation, rather than simply depicting an image or scene. Rather than a specific image, the focus may be shapes or colors or even lines. Abstract art was developed in the 19 th and 20th century, as a response a renewed trend to classicism and to Impressionism. Abstract art is sometimes also called nonobjective or nonrepresentational art. Famous abstract artists include Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky and Jackson Pollock.
