Abstraction - what is it?

Abstract art, a stream of modern art that does not accurately depict real objects, but seeks to create a certain effect by using shapes, colors, and meaningful strokes. Abstract paintings detach themselves from the real forms and image we perceive, leaving a more emotional sense of what the creator wanted to convey. The art direction of abstractionism began in the late 19th century and became most prevalent in the early 20th century. It was a time when admiration for realism began to wane and avant-garde people discovered recognition and there was growing interest in their work. The most prominent artists in abstract art are Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko and others. One of the most famous Lithuanian authors who created abstractions is M. K. Ciurlionis.

Abstract paintings - why choose them?


The current of modern art, to which abstractions belong, leaves much room for interpretation in the first place. In one way, an abstract picture will look if you are in a high mood, otherwise - if you are anxious. This current of art stemmed from the search for a new approach to form, where line, stroke thickness, brightness, and direction say more than classical painting with a particular object would do. Contemporary abstraction - paintings that reflect the painter's experiences, principles, worldview. There are many ideas behind abstract forms. There were even those who said it was art for art's sake - just for admiration. Lovers of abstract art are also aware of the idea of ​​the Greek philosopher Plato that the highest form of beauty lies in geometry, so a large number of abstract works use various forms as a means of artistic expression.
