Have you ever looked at a piece of art and had no idea what you were looking at? In my opinion, that’s abstract art. This form of art can be unique and beautiful at the same time. An art piece can have a whole bunch of random shapes, colors, or flowy squiggly lines all over the place. It’s truly captivating. Some famous pieces are:

• Piet Mondrian, Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow, 1930
• Wassily Kandinsky – Untitled (First Abstract Watercolor), 1910
• “Orange and Yellow”, 1961 by Mark Rothko

Abstract art is “…art that does not represent an accurate depiction of visual reality, communicating instead through lines, shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks. Abstract artists use a variety of techniques to create their work, mixing traditional means with more experimental ideas. – Read more here

It’s almost, unorthodox, unconventional, rebellious even. And when the elements connect, you can see the bigger picture.

However, abstract art isn’t only used in paintings. In the performing arts world as well, there are such things called abstract dance, abstract photography, and even music. Music is considered abstract due to repetition and symmetry within rhythm and how it conveys emotion. Cool right?

So, what’s your favorite type of abstract art? Share in the comment section below.
