An Introduction to Abstract Art, Its Iconic Artists and the Story Behind This Artistic Movement

Abstract art, a game-changing movement that kicked off in the early 1900s, shook up the art scene by ditching lifelike depictions to explore shapes, colours and compositions that express ideas and feelings in a non-literal way. This dive into abstraction opened the door to a wide variety of styles and techniques, letting artists express themselves beyond the usual visual boundaries.

The Story of Abstract Art

Abstract art sprang from a hunger for fresh ideas and personal expression, as artists aimed to break free from just copying the natural world. Around the turn of the last century, new tech and social shifts created the perfect backdrop for artists to experiment, challenging the old ways of painting and sculpting.

The roots of abstract art trace back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, with artists like Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich leading the charge to explore forms of expression that didn’t rely on showing the outside world. Kandinsky is often hailed as the pioneer of true abstraction, marking a major turning point in art history.

Notable Abstract Artists

• Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944): Known as the father of abstract art, Kandinsky believed art should stir emotions like music does, using colour and form to tap into pure spiritual expression.
• Piet Mondrian (1872-1944): Mondrian is famous for his abstract works featuring black lines and blocks of primary colours, aiming to reveal a universal harmony through balance and simplicity.
• Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935): Founder of Suprematism, Malevich shook up abstract art with his iconic "Black Square on White Background," championing pure form and colour.
• Jackson Pollock (1912-1956): Pollock brought in the drip technique, creating dynamic abstract pieces through movement and colour, cementing his place in Abstract Expressionism.
• Mark Rothko (1903-1970): Rothko’s abstract paintings of floating shapes and colour fields are crafted to evoke deep emotional responses.

The Evolution of Abstract Art

The 20th century saw abstract art branch out into various movements and styles, each exploring different sides of abstraction. Movements like Abstract Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Suprematism, Constructivism, and Minimalism all brought their own philosophies and approaches to the art form.

The Evolution of Abstract Art

Abstract art represents an exciting era of freedom, experimentation and fresh thinking in art’s history. By stepping away from direct representation and embracing abstraction, artists unlocked new ways to explore emotional, conceptual, and visual expression. Their legacy continues to inspire today’s creatives and stands as a lively testament to art’s power to go beyond what’s seen and tap into the heart of human experience.
