Abstraction Painters

Abstract art is the art with a long history, it involves thousands of artists. Although the signs of abstract art are found among the artworks dating back to ancient times, it is considered that this form of art was developed in the early 1900s. Abstract art involves a number of currents and styles: abstract expressionism (Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock), neo-plasticism, neo-expressionism, conceptual art, contemporary realism, etc. These days abstract art has evolved into newer movements: abstract landscape art, 3D abstract art, and fantasy abstract.

This is a kind of art that depicts an object or a form in either a simplified way or an exaggerated manner. It differs from fantasy art since abstraction is a depiction of real objects in figurative terms. In 1912, Wassily Kandinsky the author of the first original abstract art form, wrote a theory based on abstract art called On the Spiritual in Art. According to the theory the art should be based on spiritual realm.

There are lots of cultures where this form of depiction can be found, especially it goes about the Jewish and Islamic religions. These cultures banned the depiction of human beings. The abstract art of the 20th century is associated with Wassily Kandinsky artist who is regarded to be the inventor of non-figurative art. Kasimir Malewich also played great role in the development of the art, with his focus on simple geometrical forms Malewich contributed much into the development of the movement.

As any art develops parallel to social, political and other changes, abstraction during the World War II also changed the course of it's development. Abstraction artists immigrated from Europe to the United States of America, New York mainly to initiate the new stage in the history of abstract art named Abstract Expressionism.
