Abstract art

Abstractions ( also non-objective art ) is a collective term for the 1900 -emergent art movement of the 20th century, completely detached from nature and real objects using the visual design element. Abstract fall under the designation of both " abstracting " as " non-objective " art. The first abstract from the object, the latter operate autonomously of artistic means, without any relation to objects. In the spread of photography with its new quality of the reproduction of nature one of the causes for the emergence of abstract art is seen.

Beginnings and pioneer

Shortly after 1900, the first painters and sculptors began to gradually move away from the representation of the real world. It is known Wassily Kandinsky way of a stylized, the Munich Jugendstil undertook painting on numerous stages to abstract compositions that lead to the pure abstraction of geometric shapes. Programmatically put Kandinsky with his signature written in 1910: Concerning the Spiritual in Art, the theoretical basis for the new direction in painting. Whether it deserves the pioneering role in the history of abstraction, however, is debatable. His own claims that he painted his first article- loose picture in 1910. Nowadays one assumes, however, that Kandinsky has this predated, probably he painted until 1913. The Czech František Kupka had in 1911 started to paint abstract pictures.

As the first artist who painted abstract art, but the journalist and historian Julia Voss applies according to a report in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in April 2011 Hilma af Klint ( 1862-1944 ). After a series of small pictures in November 1906, she created her first full-size image in 1907. More pioneer of abstract painting were active in France artist Sonia Delaunay - Terk, Robert Delaunay and Francis Picabia, the Dutchman Piet Mondrian and in Switzerland and France acting Sophie Taeuber- Arp.

In sculpture, the actually non-objective works were only about 1920 of the Ukrainian sculptor Alexander Archipenko, the Russian Constructivists El Lissitzky and the English sculptor Henry Moore.

Parallel in the music

The artists of abstraction moving parallel to the music of the time. There anything comparable to the release of the hue was dissonant with the release of the sound value of single tones and the distance from the melody created from the object. The artists of the Blaue Reiter therefore sought to close ranks with composers such as Arnold Schoenberg, the founder of the twelve-tone technique.
