Abstract Painting




"Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colours, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential."


--Wassily Kandisky


James Mcneill Whistler,nocturne in Black and Gold:

"The Falling Rocket" (1874), Detroit Institute of Arts

Abstract, as defined, is a free hand painting wherein you intend to make a design out of your own imagination through colors and form, without following any pattern, dimensions, height or composition. It is done in a unrecognizable subject that doesn't relate to any external thing.
The art of earliest peoples started in 19th century where they uses signs and marks on pottery, textiles and inscriptions and paintings on rock. A simple, geometric and linear object were formed that it reveals the symbolic and decorative purposes of art in terms of abstract.
