Abstract Painting

An Abstract Painting is a kind of art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses colour and form in a non-representational way. In the very early 20th century, the term was more often used to describe art, such as Cubist and Futurist art, that depicts real forms in a simplified or rather reduced way¡ªkeeping only an allusion to the original natural subject. Such paintings were often claimed to capture something of the depicted objects' immutable intrinsic qualities rather than its external appearance. The more precise terms, "non-figurative painting," "non-objective painting," and "non-representational painting" avoid any possible ambiguity. Some of the most famous abstract expressionists are Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, and Hans Hofmann. Op Art (1962) and Minimalism (1965) were two recent idioms. We have totally over 2,000 abstract paintings online, please click this to check our own contempoary abstract painting.
