WHAT IS ABSTRACT ART?

The Abstract Art movement began in the United States in the 1940’s. In its purest form, Abstract Art has no subject. It is just lines, shapes, and colors.

The Abstract Art movement is called Abstract Expressionism because, although the art has no subject, it is still trying to convey some kind of emotion.

The main characteristic of abstract art is that it has no recognizable subject. Some Abstract Artists had theories on the emotions that were evoked by certain colors and shapes. They planned out their seemingly random paintings to the last detail. Other Abstract Artists painted with emotion and randomness hoping to capture their emotion and sub-conscious thoughts on the canvas.

The result is process art!
