Abstractionism is a modern art style that departs from representing reality, instead using the elements of color, form, line, and texture to create compositions that are independent of recognizable subjects.

1. Abstractionism and Abstract Expressionism

2. What about it? It had the same spirit of freedom of expression and openness that characterized life in the 20th century, but it differ from expressionism in certain ways. This group of style was known as ABSTRACTIONISM .

3. Where does it come from? The Abstractionist movement arose from the intellectual points of view in the 20th century. This intellectualism was reflected even in art. Abstractionism was logical and rational . It involved analyzing, detaching, selecting, and simplifying.

4. In 20th century abstractionism, natural appearance became unimportant, artists reduced a scene into geometrical shapes, patterns, lines, angles, textures and swirls of color.

5. Grouped under abstractionism are the following: Cubism futurism Mechanical Style Non Objectivism

6. CUBISM The style derived from its name cube, a three-dimensional geometric figure composed of strictly measured lines, planes and angles. Foremost among cubist was Spanish Painter/sculptor Pablo Picasso .

8. FUTURISM The movement began in Italy in the early 1900s. As the name implies, the futurists created art for a fast-paced, machined-propelled age. They admired the motion, force, speed and strength of mechanical forms. Thus their works depicted the dynamic sensation of all these.

10. MECHANICAL STYLE As a result of futurist movement, what become known as the mechanical style emerged. In this style, basic forms such as planes, cones, spheres, and cylinders all fit together precisely and neatly in their appointed places. This can be seen in the works of Fernand Leger.

12. NON OBJECTIVISM The logical geometrical conclusion of abstractionism came in the style known as non objectivism. From the very term “non-object” works in this style did not make use of figures or even representations of figures. They did not refer to recognizable objects or forms in the outside world.

14. World War I (1913-1914) and World War II (1941-1945) played a major role in the world’s history. From creating a historic period for future generations to discuss on to immensely influencing the course of human life, the war period left a great impact to our world.

15. After the events of World War I subsided during 1920s to 1930s Young American, artists, painters, sculptors, and writers, migrated to Europe in hopes to hone their skills and expand their horizons.

16. After the events of World War I subsided during 1920s to 1930s However, when the dark days of World War II came, a reverse migration brought European scientist, architects, and artists to American Shores. The city of New York, in particular, became a haven for the newly arrived artists and their American counterparts.

17. What is the outcome? The outcome was the establishment of what came to be known as “The New York School” –as contradictory to “The School of Paris,” which had been very well-known and influential in Europe. The aspiring young artists in this movement managed to create a new art style – a combination of Europe’s cubist and surrealist styles – called abstract expressionism.

18. Action Painting also known as Action Painting, emerged. Occasionally, this type of style is called " gestural abstraction .” This form of painting is done with spontaneous movement of paint across the canvas – like splashing or smearing the paint.

20. Color Field Painting In the early years of the second world war, around 1940s, aspiring painters created a new art style that contrasts to the dynamic gestures of the action painters of the action painting style. This new art form came to be known as color field painting. Color field painters use different color saturations, intensity, purity, and vividness to produce a design.

22. Other color field painters, however, took a more intimate “pictograph” approach , filling the canvas with repeating picture fragments and symbols – as seen in the works of Adolph Gottlieb and Lee Kranser .

24. Pop Art and Op Art Few years after the second world war ended, early in the 1960s, the of the New York School slowed down. In exchange, a new set of artists came on the scene using lighter treatment and flashes of humor, even irreverence or mockery, in their artworks .

25. Pop Art Pop art movement of the 1960s wanted to make reforms in traditional values. It also made use of common place, trivial and even nonsensical things, but unlike the angry , serious tone of the original Dadaists the pop artists seemed to enjoy nonsense for its own sake and simply wanted to laugh at the world.

26. Pop Art Their works range from paintings to posters, to collages, to three dimensional “assemblages” and installations, these made use of recognizable objects and images from the emerging consumer society as in the prints of Andy Warhol. Their inspirations were the celebrities, advertisements, billboards, and comic strips that were becoming commonplace at that time, hence, the pop (from popular) art emerged.

29. Op art short for optical art, is a style of visual art that uses optical illusions. Op art works are abstract, with many better-known pieces created in black and white. Typically, they give the viewer the impression of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibrating patterns, or of swelling or warping.

30. Op art Victor Vasarely, the Father of Op Art, on the Light that Inspired the Movement. “The art of tomorrow will be a collective treasure or it will not be art at all,” said the grandfather, father, patriarch, and pioneer of Op Art.

33. Conceptual Art Conceptual art was that which arose from in mind of the artist, took concrete form for a time, and then disappeared. art in which the idea presented by the artist is considered more important than the finished product if there is one. Conceptual art, also referred to as conceptualism, is art in which the concept or idea involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic, technical, and material concerns.

34. Conceptual Art A key difference between a conceptual work often requires little or no physical craftmanship. Much of the time and effort goes into the concept or idea behind the work. With the actual execution then relatively being quick and simple.
