Abstract

Abstract art uses form, color and line to create a composition independent from visual references in the world. Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art.

Artwork which takes liberties can also be said to be partially abstract. Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable

Among the very numerous art movements that embody partial abstraction we can list fauvism and cubism as the most representatives

Famous “abstract artists” are Kazimir Malevich, Wassily Kandisnky, Jackson Pollock, Joan Miró, Willem de Kooning or Frank Stella
