Abstract art is generally understood as an art that does not describe the natural world, but is expressed in a subjective way through shapes and colors. In the early 20th century, abstract art mainly refers to the art of expressing the natural world, such as cubism and futurism. Although it needs the constant internal quality of something, it is not by imitating its external performance.
Abstraction is defined as art without analogy and realistic reference. A broader definition is to describe the real subject matter in a simplified but primitive and natural way.
? Abstract art, especially abstract painting, is a very prominent phenomenon in modern art, which completely breaks the limitation of emphasizing the realistic expression of the theme, combines the basic elements of art abstractly and creates abstract forms, thus breaking through the barrier that art must have recognizable images and creating a new world for the development of art.
? The original meaning of the word abstraction means that people abandon the representation factors of things and extract the essential factors in cognitive thinking activities. Applied to the field of fine arts, there are concepts such as abstract art, abstractism and abstractism.
? Since ancient times, China has said that "calligraphy and painting are of the same origin", because the earliest source of words is pictures, and calligraphy and painting are brothers, born from the same root, and have many internal relations. The origin of Chinese characters is the original painting, and primitive people express themselves in the form of "painting" in their lives. They have gradually changed from the original pictures to "ideographic symbols", which are neat and regular and have the characteristics of simplified Chinese characters. Scholars think that they may be the seeds of Chinese characters.
Ideographic characters come from picture characters, but they weaken the nature of pictures and enhance the symbolism. Is the most primitive word formation. It has great limitations, because some physical abstract things can't be drawn. Therefore, on the basis of hieroglyphics, Chinese characters have developed into ideographic characters, and other word-forming methods have been added, such as understanding, referring to things, pictophonetic characters and so on. However, these new word-making methods still need to be based on the original pictographs, and they should be based on pictographs to combine, omit or add or delete symbols.
? Abstract painting is difficult to understand. Visualizing unusual works, such as Pollock's paintings, can tell his legendary experience. To avoid misunderstanding. If you appreciate Wu Guanzhong's abstract paintings, you can introduce the artist's achievements in combination with his realistic works, so that students can have reverence for them and avoid belittling abstract art.
Laozi said, "Difficulties and difficulties complement each other ..." This is a correct way of thinking to guide students to appreciate abstract art. On the surface, concrete works give people a clear and vivid feeling, but we should think from a deeper level, otherwise it will be easy to make the works superficial. On the surface, abstract works are uncommon and difficult, and nothing can be seen, but we should simplify them and understand them from the most essential level of things. Only in this way can we not walk into the maze of abstract art, but be edified in the ocean of art and enjoy the happiness brought by beauty.
Western artistic abstraction and China's calligraphy both exist in a relatively realistic style.
They pay more attention to people's feelings and artists' self-expression, which is no longer an objective copy of the world, but an expression of themselves. Western abstract art and calligraphy often use visual forms composed of colors, dots, lines, surfaces, textures, compositions and combinations.
