abstractionists

Abstractionists are artists who focus on creating art that does not attempt to represent external reality. Instead, they use shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to achieve their effect. This artistic movement emerged in the early 20th century, with key figures including Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and Kazimir Malevich. Abstractionism can be broadly categorized into several sub-movements, including Suprematism, Constructivism, and Non-objective art. Suprematism, pioneered by Malevich, emphasizes the supremacy of pure form and color, often resulting in works that are purely geometric and non-representational. Constructivism, on the other hand, combines geometric abstraction with a focus on industrial and technological themes. Non-objective art, or Pure Abstraction, seeks to create art that is entirely independent of visual references in the external world. Abstractionism has had a significant impact on modern and contemporary art, influencing numerous artists and movements that followed.
