Have you tried to remember the first time you find yourself looking at abstract art or abstract painting? Do you remember the thoughts or feelings you have about what you’re looking at?
This article is a reflection of some of the views of my own self and the reality of an artist on abstract art, with some reference to the facts agree with what I think the nature, growth, birth and evolution of abstract art outside the terms of Internal Medicine at the art academies.
We look at the basic and fundamental in this subject, we must first understand what the abstract, before we can approach the understanding of “abstract art” in itself, and we know that in this sense, the abstract and as a verb means to extract or remove rare adjective meaning it is not easy to understand, is difficult. The transitive verb meaning to remove, remove it. It originated in America abstrahere “tie” or “use”.
Therefore, we conclude that the summary, and is generally viewed as an art form that can not imagine what the objective or material world, but represents the new innovations that have been expressed very subjective inner substances the artist’s spirit, and in many cases through deep and spontaneous, highlighting the artist’s inner world.
Thus, abstract art, which is the product of this very natural impulse, and is uninhabited deliberate in the absence of any external stimulus, it is essential and belongs to the fundamental nature of the very form of the artist, and the real impact behind their creations.
I developed through my own technical representative, and increasingly learn about the history of art, I learned that abstract art has its roots in the dawn of early human history, when man began to draw on the walls of his cave. These arts in the early abstract paintings, drawings and abstract – sometimes adorned with organic dyes – tried several times to capture the essence and quality of objects instead of their real appearance.
As art historians and art critics make their views and ideas in the press, where the more esoteric removed under the title “non-objective art,” “figurative art” and “non-figurative art.” In the field of aesthetics, and that was not the principles of creating the art of writing minutes, and this branch of the humanities and a lot of critics with many schools in different views and ideas, where he heard lectures esoteric and views to open the jaws more present and expressions of personal suffering under a cloud of confusion.
Centuries before the birth of Abstract Expressionism in the United States, and the art is very much in the East, and specifically in Islamic culture, where the line is also the art of non-figurative taught as an early start in some cases, such as primary schools, as a strong focus on “increasing students and develop skills in calligraphy and the art of writing.
In Western culture, was found in abstract designs in many formats. However, art is characterized by a single summary in the form of composition with respect to the decorative arts, art, abstract art, where in, and the results of creation, is the spontaneous recording the artist’s ideas, emotions , meditation, who said he created his work of abstract art.
Abstract expressionism, as we know it today was born in the U.S. in the second half of the 20th century after the mass exodus of European avant-artists in New York, making the city the center of the art world, a title previously was held in Paris. Affected many of the contemporary artists of America as a result of the flow of new talent created by the freedom of expression is very well received by personal vehicle of spontaneity in the absence of limitations and restrictions of traditional forms.
The advent of Abstract Expressionism in New York, the dawn of a new and peaceful revolution, technical artist who began to openly rebel against the status quo. He began a new era where you can freely create and change the future of the current scene of a better tomorrow.
Become one of the pioneers of abstract expressionism and Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, synonymous with New York, the school and the paint job as it played an important role in what is known and well-deserved Instead, a new world of freedom for the artist to create and build up the reason that a world of rational, objective reasons why.
The more training, Jackson Pollock began to reorganize the grill and painted it as he pleases, and expressed by pouring paint, even from inside the paint, I felt. Pollock used as one of the most rebellious of the time, and your body as a tool for painting, and moved quickly through his large paintings on the floor and dispersed patterns of combination of painting, as a emotional roller coaster, and engage the viewer in its rhythmic flow motion, seemingly endless space.
In contrast to the large Pollock, Barnett Newman paintings of color field, and the opening of large areas of empty spaces the viewer to enter them and imagine what you want to place.
Now, for simplicity, can not be classified in the sole representative of art art and abstract art. Figurative art are aware of what is happening in the Assembly immediately to familiar objects, as opposed to abstract art, which requires a thought we have a vision to create art and compared the results with the observation that we have in the past, in order to reach an immediate example, where we are. Thus, our observation of abstract art, and the presence or absence of emotional responses, and caused as a result of the understanding of abstract art, the question of what is truly abstract art, and when they become successful.
Imagine that you are looking for in figurative art, which depicts a scene in the wooded area, covered with moss shrouded in mist with a little tide sequence, what is happening. We all agree with what you were looking for and appreciate the quality of beauty, and some of us became awestricken for its charm, and feel even spray in the air and the smell of moss. We would like to see it as an enjoyable experience. I feel it is for peaceful purposes, as it has a tendency to make us feel comfortable. It helps – even for a brief moment – forget our problems and disorders have become a new level of calm, so much so that we can be there in our imagination. We stay away from painting and consider the other paintings that do not produce the same thoughts and feelings, and turn to see again and again, and the desire to gain more experience for the same well. Fun is what we are witnessing.
This is the emotional reaction to this we are very representative of the art to understand in its entirety. Which refers to a particular message within the limits of their expertise, which was created. And expertise is not the primary visual attraction, however. The message was sent to us visually, what attracted us. And the craft, which was created to be secondary to the importance of the message and the quality of their performance. Although the letter should not have the same meaning in every scene, is a combination of both the message and the experience that leads to an understanding that causes the viewer to respond emotionally.
In painting, sculpture sharp stones in the walls of his cave, to the greatness of today’s technology, man has been through an incredible evolution in the arts between the dynamics of many other of life. Of those who accepted the limits of their culture and environmental factors, and remained faithful to the truth unless they were allowed, and is expected to create in a different format and graphic arts. But they want sooner, he was aware of a higher form of existence and the ability to overcome the real and clear, with no tolerance with repression, and fall into the trap. They are visionaries who have fled and sought freedom of expression in another place, where the achievement of freedom was possible.
He moved a large number of European artists and teachers such as Joseph Albers and Hans Hofmann to the United States in the second half of the 20 and make New York the center of new art in the world, leaving behind Paris. They brought with them the same freedom of spontaneity to create paintings that became what is now known as abstract expressionism. It also prints out as unique in its kind to have a finger, every expression, and has become a new signature aesthetic to consider.
However, the roots of the transition from representational art to abstract art painting and expressionism began to grow in the late 19th century in the form of neo-impressionism and impressionist art, I began to change his face, while maintaining a good degree of similarity which means that, in the era of post-Impressionism had reached the scene, and the field of art had already gone through a significant and well on its way to the main switch.
Before the arrival of this new change, and certainly before the post-impressionist, and is dedicated primarily to the artist to portray the landscape, instead of trying to take advantage of the depth of their feelings through the fabric him and his audience a psychological connection.
Nothing is stronger and more important than the birth and the power of a new idea. Nothing can or can not stop the idea. Once conceived the idea, you can not stop or put the deleted, because they have an idea or a comprehensive model of the occupation of physical space, and be subject to opposition forces, and become vulnerable. It is not a new idea, imagine once, and takes on a life of its own, through sponsorship of being in the lofts of a strong imagination and left in the arms of those who embrace it.
Hans Hofmann, who became known as the father of abstract expressionism, and he says this:
“We can not, but it is the idea that achieved with the help of a medium of expression, which must be inherent attributes that I felt understood and certainly to become the bearer of the idea.” The idea of inevitable destiny, to allow ownership of the same freedom of speech is a luxury that is not for sale, but to achieve this, faculty members available for the few, by nature, but can be reached by the masses . Some that come quickly, and the rest comes through the adoption of the difficulties.Requires the development of art at the level of abstract representation of highly expressed liberal and accepting that the help and financial support were instrumental in the level of abstract expressionist painters.
In an article that reveals the philosophy of art, Johannes Itten says: “If the new ideas that lead to any art form, the forces must be physical, sensory, intellectual and spiritual all that is available on an equal footing and work a whole. ” Telling the truth, Itten says what is needed to create an artistic expression and in terms of the means necessary to convey the idea, which is perceived, and saw in the picture or in the mind, the canvas work of art has success, which can be felt and understood by the viewer.
These standards set by the previous Itten in the 20th century to the bite of a great philosophy that require a lot of chewing and digestion to achieve acceptance and support, so it lacked the artists to take the plight of the more endearing to gain and maintain their livelihoods.
Before the arrival of the pioneers in Europe and the consistency in the delivery of the precious gifts for the abstract paintings and artists representative of an idea of what freedom of artistic expression really means to open the door to a world new exercise of art, which opened a new door and an extension of the same people.
Abstract artists began to face opposition from traditionalists alone, refusing to change, to express their life, new panels according to the rules of its own newly created. In the world of art, where art is marketed as a luxury and not need to rely on capital appreciation from a few, and threatened with the arrival of abstract art in general and especially in abstract expressionism axes, which is based in the art market.
The change was inevitable, and broke with traditional futurists ready at the expense of modern art, impressionist and abstract but are actively involved in the experience and explore different physical entities and invented new tools with which they can apply the paint to his canvases.
Suddenly, the traditional means of which was painted by the artist becomes a process of permanent change, exploration, creativity and experimentation, and more creations, each time giving birth to a new technology. Stretched canvases, paints and studio tools is beyond the confines of a studio artist, and the world of collage and found objects.
Jackson Pollock’s work background painter, who fought hard to acceptance, and began to use his body as an instrument on board of his paintings and wide on the ground, and he danced with stains, drips and splashes of paint, developed and mastered the technology in printmaking and enjoy some of the outbreaks of the new great fame and fortune before falling victim to the demons of the culture at the ripe age of 42 years. However, he left a great legacy behind, which continued to inspire many abstract artists through a variety of paintings left by the big boys.
This is what Pollock said, in part, for his paintings: “It’s all a big game of construction, with some shrubs, some with a shovel, some choose the style of painting pen is the natural growth of necessity, I express my feelings rather than illustrate, no matter what. painting on, provided that said something. On the floor I feel more comfortable. I feel closer and more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, working from all four sides and literally be in the paint. the artist talk is to work with the time and place their feelings and expression rather than clarify. when I’m painting, I’m not aware of what I’m , and after a period of just getting to know what you think about it. painting has a life, and every painter paints what he is good. ”
Another great artist and painter of contemporary abstract impressionist group is Robert Rosenberg. Create collages with objects Rosenberg is on the streets of New York and challenged the traditional perception of the rule of all, as he moved through his career, which has become well-deserved recognition reward, and increased of success, fame and financial contracts in recent years. He later moved to Florida to escape New York, where he continues to create his art on the shores of a tranquil island, rich in Captiva.
One of the most inspiring Rosenberg worth mentioning, is the concept of leaving enough for the opportunity for discovery, where the artist has the opportunity to opportunity is not expected.
And the pattern is the most prominent Abstract Expressionist painters work involving the use of dispersed, textures and dripping paint everywhere, indicating the mood of the artist, color field painters who expressed their work through uniform fields of color, shapes, and although many of the painters, others use both methods in their work.
