The Perspective of an Abstract Art The word ‘abstract’ in its pure sense means to separate something from something else. The abstract word is essentially non-representational. It can be subject based or refer to nothing in the external world. The purpose of abstract art is to empower the abstract expressionism. We call this art abstract because it exists beyond or by somehow by defying the existing rules of visual reference that one is used to. It is a different language in itself that uses some strokes of color, lines and shapes and form and is independent of any predefined structure or notion. It is a rebel. It is an expression of independence, independence of mankind, of the soul. It is a fine art with a difference!
What is unique about it? Abstract artists take inspiration from anything under the sun and moon - an object, a landscape painting, or a figure which is schematized and transformed it into an exclusive piece of work. Some of the pioneers of "pure" abstract paintings were Peit Mondarin and Kazimir Malevich. Abstract expressionist paintings are actually canvases with loud colors and conceptual designs. Not just paintings, this form of creativity is also evident in sculptures and with the 3d gallery and watercolor paintings. A great example of a sculptor who worked on the abstract sculptures is the Russian constructivist Naum Gabo.
The evolution of abstract expressionism Developed in the 1940s in New York, abstract expressionism is the post World War II form of painting. After receiving an overwhelming response for this movement, New York City soon became the center of the western art world.
The term "Abstract Expressionism" was coined by the art critic Robert Coates and was first publicly used in a German magazine, Der Sturm in 1919. You may find a number of fantasy books and novels associated with abstract art expressionism!
