Abstract Drawing

Abstract Drawings For Sale

Abstract drawing continues the revolutionary vision where art detaches itself from the literal and real, surpassing traditional representations. Historically, Abstract Art originated in the 19th century but rose to prominence as a new kind of art in the early 20th century. Movements such as Cubism brought greater relevance to forms, shapes, colours, and gestural marks than to replicating visual reality. Other influential movements include Surrealism, Fauvism, and Dadaism.

If you search for the verb “abstract” in the dictionary, it means, among others, to consider something separately from something else. Sometimes, words themselves provide insight into the purpose of abstract art.

The Essence and Emergence of Abstract Drawing

Abstract artists use colours, forms, shapes, and lines to create drawings untethered from objects, landscapes, or portraits. This style invites viewers to engage their imagination and personal experiences, allowing the art to take them wherever they are willing to go. Abstract art pushed traditional boundaries, bringing freedom to methodologies and techniques that were once unexplored.

Influential abstract artists include Wassily Kandinsky, Malevich, and Mondrian, who pioneered the movement. Later, Pollock and de Kooning infused it with emotional intensity, developing Expressive Abstract Art, while Rothko’s colour abstractions emphasized minimalism and the emotional impact of colour.
