Abstract Style Paintings

The emerge of abstract painting dates back to the early 20th century, 1910 to be particular, the year of cubism invention be Pablo Picasso and George Braque. Abstract style paintings were a kind of revolt to the arts and techniques where the emphasis was made on the nature as a model to depict. Cubism became the art that began to paint abstract art as a result of a deliberate artistic and philosophical development, while other styles were partly based on native art that contained abstract elements. In what follows, the post-impressionists´ started to express their inner world and due to Georges Braques' technique of faceting an image appeared. This technique was used to depict the essence of an object, rather than the appearance and this innovation became the step that lead to cubism development. The painter that introduced almost pure abstraction was Picasso's painting technique, which also find realization in the works of Mondrian and the Russian abstract artists. The further development of abstract painting is divided into two directions: geometric abstraction and painterly automatism.
