Abstract art:uses
a visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a
composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual
references in the world.Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to
the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic
of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible
reality. The arts of cultures other than the European had become
accessible and showed alternative ways of describing visual experience
to the artist. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need
to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental
changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources
from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were
diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all
areas of Western culture at that time. Abstract
art, nonfigurative art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art
are loosely related terms. They are similar, but perhaps not of
identical meaning.
