Understanding Abstract Painting and buying the right one is an art in itself. To understand the abstract artwork you need to have analytical and creative mind. Some abstract artists come up with artwork that hard to understand while some some are easy to interpret and look obvious.
To understand abstract art let us first understand its origin and its purpose. The word Abstract relates to something that exists in an idea or thought but not in reality. Abstract Art originated in 19th century in Europe marking end of Realism period.
Abstract Expressionists came up with gestural representation of the reality using colour, shape, form, texture, line, and value.
Different types of Abstract arts are namely – Geometric Abstraction, Emotional or Intuitional Abstract Art, Gestural Abstract Art, Minimalist Abstract Art, abstract expressionism, aboriginal art, non-objective, neo-plasticism, color field, lyrical abstraction, post-painterly abstraction, Russian Constructivism, geometric abstract art, modern abstract art, Surrealism, Dadaism, Cubism, and Fauvism,
The popularity of Abstract Art has probably come with invention of cameras. Where there was shift from likeness towards Realism to Abstract. Artists and Art admirers found more reality in the pictures taken from cameras. And gradually paintings based on realism lost populaity. Also as a result of the world wars, Artist saw imperfection and destruction of life. Perfection or Realism sounded more like mechanical while imperfection or abstraction felt more natural and human. As a result Artists started expressing through shapes, colors and strokes rather than reality.
Some famous abstract artists are Willem De Kooning, Picasso, Miro, Paul Klee, Kandinsky.
Abstract Art leaves it to the viewer to view and decide, what the artist wants to express through the artwork. So, to understand abstract artwork creativity is also required in the viewer.
Some of the Abstract work are hard to analyse but some are little close to reality.
