There are a number of definitions of abstract art. The real question is
- is it really possible to have one, coherent abstract art definition
that would include all complexities of this movement? But, we could say
that abstract artists use a visual language of shape, form, color, and
line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of
independence from visual references in the world. Abstract art movement
does not depict a person, place or thing in the natural world; or it
does, but does not make any visual references.What is very important to
mention when trying to define abstract art is the fact that abstract
artists do not deal with the representational interpretation of a
subject. The idea is to only communicate with the viewers in an attempt
to understand “reality”. All types of abstract art share a common
position – reality is s ubjective and not concrete, and it’s up to a
viewer to define it.
