Abstract art refers to an artistic expression in which the artistic image deviates from or completely abandons the appearance of natural objects. So how much do you know about abstract art? Let me tell you what abstract art is.
introduction of abstract art
Abstract art is generally regarded as an art that does not describe the natural world, and it is expressed in a subjective way through shapes and colors.
In many cases, the concept of abstract art refers to abstract painting. Of course, apart from abstract painting, abstract art should also include more artistic fields, abstract sculptures, abstract installations, music, abstract poetry, abstract photography, architecture, abstract dance and so on.
Abstraction is a foreign word. At first, abstraction in art is only the generalization and refinement of concreteness, which makes the picture dissolve the concrete outline and details and become highly symbolic. We can understand the original meaning of western abstract concepts from the evolution of Picasso's Cow and mondriaan's Tree. Later, abstraction went to the extreme, completely getting rid of concrete images and objects. The picture must be free from any objects familiar to our vision, and it is only a picture composed of color, composition, symbols, points, lines and surfaces, and texture, which is called abstract painting. The historical origin of abstract art
? Abstract? The original meaning of the word refers to the abandonment of non-essential factors and the extraction of essential factors by human beings. Some original works of art and most arts and crafts works, as well as artistic styles such as calligraphy and architecture, should belong to abstract art in terms of the deviation between their images and natural objects. However, abstract art, as a conscious artistic trend of thought, rose in Europe and America in the 2th century. Many modernist art schools, such as abstract expressionism, cubism and Tahism, were influenced by this.
Abstract art is a name opposite to figurative art, which can also be called non-figurative art.. It is characterized by the lack of description, expressing concepts and painting with emotional methods, which basically belongs to expressing realism and was first seen in Kandinsky's works. It is a fusion of various anti-traditional artistic influences, especially from Fauvism and Cubism.
? Abstract? Art does not exist in Picasso's view. He thinks that only some people emphasize style and others emphasize life. In Michelle? Sefer's view, abstract art is:? I take everything without any reminder, without any memories of reality? Whether this reality is the painter's starting point or not. All the arts are called abstract art.
In fact, Fauvism and Cubism promoted the independent development of form and color. It was Kandinsky who further discovered its mystery. In 191, he painted the first absolutely abstract watercolor painting, which was a vivid overlapping color point without concrete desire. Kandinsky's creative invention was to get aesthetic inspiration from music, and then Czech Kupka directly got inspiration from music to create abstract art. He was called the originator of the musicalist painter, and later they formed the abstract school together. The essence of abstract art
Abstract is the space concept of the universe, and eternity is the time concept of the universe. Abstraction and eternity, * * * isomorphic into the essence of cosmic time and space.
abstraction is the original ecology of the universe, which was born before human beings. The universe is an abstract world composed of composition (interstellar relations), color (the true colors of the universe), point (star) line (star trajectory, meteor and light), surface (cosmic space) and texture (the surface of a galaxy or planet).
The sky, clouds, lightning, water waves, rock crevices, grass stems, mud, veins, zebra stripes, tiger stripes and butterfly stripes, many pictures and details of nature are abstract. Blood pictures, cells, genes, pupils, skin colors and fingerprints in human life are also abstract. Particles, protons, neutrons and quarks in the physical world are abstract.
abstraction is the natural essence of the universe, and it is also a visual way for human beings to know the world. Humans can feel the universe through abstract reading. Appreciating abstract beauty is the innate ability, talent and indispensable way of life of human beings.
The scope of abstract art
Abstract painting on the world shelf started from Kandinsky 1 years ago. Before Kandinsky, there was no such thing in the world? Abstract art? 、? Abstract painting? This word. However, this does not mean that abstract symbols and patterns have never happened in the world before him. Human understanding of the solar system is only a few hundred years, but the solar system has existed for an eternal time. In the same way, we can only say that the world's understanding of abstract painting on the shelf began with Kandinsky, but human abstract culture and artistic creation have a history of thousands of years.
the universe is abstract. Human beings have the talent of abstract aesthetics and abstract artistic creation.
in the 5-year history of China, abstract symbols, abstract elements, abstract forms, abstract decorations and abstract aesthetics abound. From the early human graffiti, painted pottery patterns, crock patterns, Oracle bone inscriptions, bronze casting patterns, and clothing wearing, to the later courtyard design, rock decoration, bucket arch panes, embroidered clothes, seal cutting calligraphy, playing with jade and enjoying stones, all reveal the intertwined and entangled origin of life and abstract aesthetics. China people have created and appreciated abstract beauty for thousands of years. China is a country with a long history of splendid abstract culture.
without the history of western abstract art, the universe remains abstract, and human abstract aesthetics and abstract creation remain the same. Therefore, even if we don't know and understand abstract art from the history of western art, but from the origin of the universe and the essence and talent of human life, we can find a way to understand and interpret abstract art. Characteristics of abstract art
Abstract art is an art without theme, logic and story, a feeling of life beyond experience, and an artistic way to express and describe human nature through abstract colors, lines, blocks and compositions.
Abstract art pursues originality and regards innovation as the only art.. Abstract art should challenge experience and the world, and create unprecedented new beautiful pictures.
We often feel that abstract art is unacceptable and unreasonable, and we lament that abstract art works are surprisingly strange and obscure. In fact, all this is just the contradiction between experience and imagination. We should know that art is not a concrete material display, but an abstract feeling process and an activity of subjective consciousness. The originality of abstract art gives us the largest activity space for subjective consciousness, and feeling art can become the best enjoyment.
Abstract art pays more attention to form than content. Forms can be ever-changing. Abstract painting also emphasizes the simplicity of painting language, that is, the purity of painting form without any experience. Do not imitate any existing creation, deliberately create a unique painting language in the visual space, and complete the painter's life experience of art with distinctive personality and artistic symbols.
To appreciate abstract art, knowing and not knowing are relative. And people's cultural accomplishment and artistic accomplishment determine people's aesthetic ability, which is absolute.
soul art
The world of abstract art is an ethereal world, a free and unpredictable world, and the language in this world is closer to the language in the soul deep in life. Therefore, when the reality imprisons the mind and sight with precise dimensions and standards, the endless roaming of abstract art and the sense of time and space without walls provide a new platform for modern people's aesthetics, which activates modern people's curiosity and innovative consciousness. People are willing to weave their own aesthetic network and build a color world that belongs to their own souls on the platform provided by abstract art.
art of thinking
Figural Art is an experiential art, an art of reason and logic. Appreciation becomes a habit, so there are few aesthetic obstacles. Abstract art is irrational, with no theme and no story. It depends entirely on the aesthetic's own creativity and imagination, so abstract art requires the aesthetic to be particularly high. In front of color lines, everyone's answer is different, and different answers are different thinking. It is difficult for a person without creative thinking to understand the mystery of abstract art.
elegant art
popular art is popular art and abstract art is elegant art. The original intention of art may be just to play, to vent easily, to be naughty, and to be a form of discovery. It is the society that makes art a memorandum of life and takes on the responsibility that should have been borne by politics alone. Abstract art makes art return to humanity. Focus on developing the subconscious and imagination space where human nature has not yet been developed. People's needs are divided into low-level needs (food and clothing), sub-low-level needs (material display: such as luxury houses and cars), and high-level needs: artistic enjoyment: music, painting, etc.
As an advanced enjoyment of life, abstract art will undoubtedly get more and more attention and discovery.
Abstract art conforms to modern people's aesthetic viewpoint and creative desire. Modern home decoration space, modern life concept and clothing taste elements are the prerequisites for the development of abstract art.. More and more people with high IQ with independent value judgment will be the mainstream people in abstract art consumption. They don't satisfy the realistic space, but need imagination space to complete the aesthetic spiritual exploration. (Xu Demin) Western Abstraction
Abstract painting on the shelf is a part of modern art, which developed and started together with modern art.
Modern art started in Europe in the mid-19th century, starting from impressionism. In the textbooks of western art history, the epoch-making work regarded as modern art is Lunch on the Grass written by Manet in 1863. Monet is the most representative impressionist painter, impressionist? Impression? The name is from his 1872 work Impression? Sunrise.
Cezanne, one of the representatives of post-impressionism, was the first painter who brought modernist art from concrete to abstract form. Cezanne's understanding of color is the most incisive among modern painters. He believes that for a painter, only color is true. His? Restore nature to the three basic shapes of cylinder, cone and sphere? The understanding of cubism influenced the birth of cubism, thus promoting the development of abstract art. Cezanne is the originator of the mainstream art of western modern formalism in the theoretical sense, and is honored as? Father of modern art? .
From Cezanne, abstract painting has sprouted in theory and practice, and the emergence of cubism has given abstract painting an opportunity to express and exert its fists and feet. At first abstract painting and concrete painting were mixed together, that is, semi-abstract. There are some images on the screen, but these images are expressed by geometric deformation, which is not purely abstract. Even some paintings that are purely represented by geometric figures and colors will use some concrete symbols to express some symbolic meaning. The appearance of cubism greatly shortened the step towards abstract art, and directly led to the birth of two schools of abstract painting (hot abstraction and cold abstraction).
mondriaan, a Dutch artist, accepted the painting concept of Cubism in Paris in 1911, and evolved Cubism into geometric abstract painting with its own distinctive characteristics. According to mondriaan, plastic arts show two tendencies: realism and abstraction. The former is a manifestation of our aesthetic feelings, which are aroused by the external images of nature and life. The latter is an abstract expression of color, shape and space, which is expressed by a more abstract means, and often geometric shape and space, with the aim of creating a new reality.
Generally speaking, abstract art has the following three characteristics: first, it seems ordinary, simple and even clumsy, but it is extremely vivid; Second, people, scenery and things are interesting and intriguing for a long time; Third, the great spirit conveyed by it, which is popular and illiterate.
