Abstract art can be a painting or sculpture (including assemblage) that does not depict
a person, place or thing in the natural world -- even in an extremely distorted
or exaggerated way. Therefore, the subject of the work is based on what you
see: color, shapes, brushstrokes, size, scale and, in some cases, the process
(see action painting). Abstract art began in 1911 with such works as Picture
with a Circle (1911) by the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944).
Kandinsky believed that colors provoke emotions.
Red was lively and confident; Green was peaceful with inner strength; Blue was
deep and supernatural; Yellow could be warm, exciting, disturbing or totally
bonkers; and White seemed silent but full of possibilities. He also assigned
instrument tones to go with each color: Red sounded like a trumpet; Green
sounded like a middle-position violin; Light Blue sounded like flute; Dark Blue
sounded like a cello, Yellow sounded like a fanfare of trumpets; and White
sounded like the pause in a harmonious melody.
These analogies to sounds came from Kandinsky's
appreciation for music, especially that by the contemporary Viennese composer
Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951). Kandinsky's titles often refer to the colors in
the composition or to music, for example "improvisation."
The French artist Robert Delaunay (1885-1941)
belonged to Kandinsky's Blue Rider (Die Blaue Reiter) group, and with his wife,
Russian-born Sonia Delaunay-Turk (1885-1979), they both gravitated toward
abstraction in their own movement Orphism or Orphic Cubism.
What do you think about abstract art?
Abstract art is a most philosophy direction in the art. Artists joined in his paintings incompatible things. And this insignificant at first glance things carry very deep sense. People can spend hours near that pictures and do not understand all sense.
ОтветитьУдалитьAbstract art is the most extraordinary art. Although the subject of the work is based on what you see, for us,ordinary people,it is difficult to understand the meaning of pictures. And I think that the picture of this art is good as a decorative feature
