-Abstract art is divided into representational abstractionism, which retains recognizable subjects, and pure abstractionism, which avoids any depiction of real-world objects.
What are the distinct characteristics of abstractionism?
-Distinct characteristics of abstractionism include emphasizing an artwork's formal qualities, using vivid arbitrary colors, reconstructing shapes, rejecting realistic perspective, and utilizing geometrical shapes, patterns, lines, angles, and textures.
What is representational abstractionism?
-Representational abstractionism is a form of abstract art that retains recognizable subjects while still emphasizing the formal qualities of the artwork over realistic depiction.
What is pure abstractionism?
-Pure abstractionism is a form of abstract art that avoids any depiction of real-world objects, focusing solely on the use of colors, shapes, and forms to create a composition.
Which artist is associated with cubism and what are some of their notable works?
-Pablo Ruiz Picasso is associated with cubism. Some of his notable works include 'Girl Before a Mirror' from 1932 and 'Girl with Mandolin' from 1910.
What is futurism and who is a notable artist in this movement?
-Futurism is an early 20th-century art movement that emphasized speed, technology, and objects in motion. Gino Severini is a notable artist in this movement, known for works such as 'Memories of a Journey' from 1911.
What is the mechanical style and which artist is known for it?
-The mechanical style is an art movement characterized by the depiction of mechanical objects and scenes. Fernand Léger is known for this style, with works like 'The City' from 1919 and 'Contrast of Forms' from 1913.
What is objectivism in art, and which artist is associated with it?
-Objectivism is an art movement that focuses on the representation of objects in a simplified and abstract manner. Georges Braque is associated with this movement, with works such as 'New York City 1' from 1942 and 'Gray Tree' from 1911.
How does the use of geometrical shapes and patterns contribute to abstractionism?
-The use of geometrical shapes and patterns in abstractionism contributes to the emphasis on formal qualities and the rejection of realistic perspective. It allows artists to explore form and structure in a non-representational way.
