What do you see when you look at abstract art? Does it make sense to you? Does it look like anything? Is it supposed to?
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didnt want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his “blue period”). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist” because they are made of painted squares.
Over time, Picassos paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and objects using strange shapes. His work was so original that many of his fellow artists couldnt understand it.
Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings and emotions.
Other artists, like the surrealists, were interested in the subconscious. Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasnt always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.
There are still many abstract artists around the world. Its often hard to say exactly what their art is about. Thats the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.
