In simple form, abstract art is a visual representation of form, color, shape and line in such a way that it triggers imagination as it is independent from visual references in the world. abstract art aims to give freedom to the viewer to have their own interpretation of the art. Today famous artist websites are full of abstract paintings as it is usually the most favorite painting style of artists. Let us dwell further in how abstract art originated: Abstract art in early cultures: In the earliest cultures, one can observe that any signs or marks on textiles, inscriptions and paintings were simple. Looking at Islamic calligraphy or Chinese calligraphy, one can immerse in the art without even being able to read it. 19th century: Romanticism, expressionism and impressionism served as basis of abstract art development. Artistic independence advanced during 19th century. A painting Nocturne in black and gold: the falling rocket by James McNeill Whistler laid emphasis on visual sensation and that provided hint of abstract art development.

“Every time I pass near a blank canvas I feel something explode inside of me. It is not something I can explain or pass on to someone else…but it is, always, a beginning of a new creation.” Osnat Tzadok Flare of Abstract Art: Unlike the portrait paintings containing objective realities, abstract art is all about the interior vision. It needs extra concentration to discern what the artist wants to say. As a child, I used to do pencil sketching and draw a lot many random lines, shapes and patterns. The wave of happiness encircled my soul on completion. That’s my very first concept of abstract stuff. And, I think this is why, today, I get more attracted toward abstract impressionism whenever I visit any of the famous artist websites or art exhibitions. Pick any art form, you will find it representational, descriptive and sometimes self-explanatory like the representational paintings created by portrait artists. Abstract artwork, however, is the only thing that gives you unlimited room to enjoy artist’s visual creativity and the fancy of your mind.

If we dwell in the history, we come to know that many rich and famous people have portrait paintings from various artists. But with the passage of time, even middle class started showing interest in commission portraits of their loved ones.

“Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.” ― Salvador Dali There is no exact way to find out the exact beginning of anything that has taken place in the history. Art requires creativity and great development of right brain. It requires a high sense of spirituality and imagination. Art has the power to touch hearts and connect with people at a great level. Surrealism started during the late 1910’s and in the beginning of ‘20s as a movement that gave birth to automatism which focused on releasing unrestrained imagination of the subconscious. After the publication of Manifesto of Surrealism by Andre Breton-a poet and critic, surrealism went international. Highly influenced by psychology and known to be triggered by Dadaism, surreal art seeped its way into art beautifully. German Max Ernst was one of the visual artists to imply surrealist techniques in his paintings. Salvador Dali is a known name in the world of Surrealism and must be given the credit for taking surrealism out of the art gallery and expanding its horizons. View my surreal art here.
