¿QUÉ ES EL ARTE ABSTRACTO? ARTES III
What is Abstract Art?
The section discusses the concept of abstract art, distinguishing it from figurative art and highlighting key characteristics and prominent artists in the abstract art movement.
Abstract Art Characteristics
- Abstract art deviates from representing concrete and recognizable figures of the real world, offering a unique reality through independent forms, colors, and lines.
- Wassily Kandinsky is credited with establishing the foundations of abstractionism as a coherent artistic movement through "lyrical abstraction" between 1910 and 1912.
- Abstract art showcases a heightened awareness of forms and colors used deliberately to break away from concrete reality. Sculptures focus on three-dimensionality and geometry, while paintings propose a distinct language of form, color, and line belonging to the artist.
Types of Abstract Art
- Curvilinear abstract art features intertwining curved lines or spirals.
- Chromatic visual abstract art emphasizes visual impact through color in chaotic or orderly sequences.
- Geometric abstract art derives from cubism, employing geometric shapes as a unique language that challenges viewers to approach the artwork intuitively rather than logically.
