    The key takeaways are that abstract art does not depict objects from the real world and emerged in the early 20th century. It has origins in the 19th century and uses lines, shapes, colors without recognizable subjects.

    Abstract art has its origins in the 19th century in Europe and fully emerged in the early 20th century when realism declined. Artists sought 'pure art' from imagination rather than visual perceptions.

    Abstract art has no recognizable subject and emphasizes lines, shapes, colors to transform subjects. It seeks more than external appearance and uses color, memory, sensation to show subjective reality.

    PREVALENT
    ARTIST
    Wassily Kandinsky
    – the Father of Abstract
    Art
    •Wassily Kandinsky – a representative of the
    avant-garde world, one of the founders of the
    abstract painting. He was the first to create
    the theory based on the principles of new art. 
    •Wassily Kandinsky was born in Moscow on
    December 16, 1866
    •Wassily Kandinsky decided to become an
    artist at the age of 30. It was 1895.
    •The first non-figurative work of Kandinsky,
    which initiated a new movement in art, was
    the watercolor painting “Untitled” created in
    1910. Today you can see it in Paris in the
    Centre Georges Pompidou.
    Mark Rothko 
    •Mark Rothko (1903–1970) took the
    geometric abstracts of Malevich to a new
    level of modernism with color-field
    painting. This American painter rose in
    the 1940s and simplified color into a
    subject all on its own, redefining abstract
    art for the next generation. His paintings,
    such as "Four Darks in Red" (1958) and 
    "Orange, Red, and Yellow" (1961), are
    as notable for their style as they are for
    their large size.
    •Rothko's paintings are known for their
    large vibrant blocks of color.
    •Mark Rothko painted a number of
    paintings that were basically large blocks
    of color. Like this painting, there was
    usually a border and the edges of the
    blocks blurred together. Rothko didn't
    say what the painting was supposed to
    mean. He left interpretations up to the
    viewer. As simple as this painting may
    look here, it sold for over $72 million in
    Jackson Pollock

    •He is an American painter, he


    introduced a new modality in the
    technique, dripping the paints that
    drip from punctured containers
    intentionally, in a fast execution,
    with abrupt and impetuous
    gestures, spraying, staining,
    painting the chosen surface with
    extraordinary and fantastic results,
    sometimes realized before the
    public.
    • Dadaism was an avant-garde artistic and cultural
    movement prompted by the European societal
    climate after World War I. It was a rejection of
    modern capitalism, bourgeois culture, and wartime
    DADAISM politics that aligned with other far-left radical groups.
    This was expressed through the use of non-traditional
    art materials, satire, and nonsensical content. Even
    the movement’s name, ‘dada’, was meant to be a
    word with no meaning.
    Marcel
    Duchamp, Fountain (
    1917)

    • Marcel Duchamp was one of the most prolific artists of Dadaism,


    producing numerous infamous paintings, collages and sculptures. 
    • Fountain is a readymade  sculpture by Marcel Duchamp in 1917, consisting
    of a porcelain urinal signed "R. Mutt".

    DADAISM ARTWORKS
    • Surrealism was a cultural movement which
    developed in Europe in the aftermath of World War
    I and was largely influenced by Dada. The movement
    is best known for its visual artworks and writings and
    the juxtaposition of distant realities to activate the
    unconscious mind through the imagery. Artists
    SURREALISM painted unnerving, illogical scenes, sometimes with
    pothographic precision, creating strange creatures
    from everyday objects, and developing painting
    techniques that allowed the unconscious to express
    itself.
    • Surrealism began in the 1920’s as an offshoot or
    extension of the Dada movement.
    Salvador Dali - The Persistence of Memory (1931)

    • Out of the hundreds of artworks created by Salvador Dali, his iconic  melting clock painting is no doubt the most famous.
    • Entitled The Persistence of Memory, this painting served as both an outlet for his imagination and a simple allegory—that
    time is meaningless.
    • Dali claimed (like most surrealists) that his images were “dream sequences” or inspired by his subconscious.

    SURREALISM ARTWORKS
    • Constructivism was an artistic and
    architectural philosophy that originated in
    Russia beginning in 1915 by Vladimir Tatlin and
    Alevander Rodchenko.Abstract and austere,
    constructivist art aimed to reflect modern industrial
    society and urban space.
    CONSTRUCTIVISM • In Constructivism, the role of the artist was re-
    imagined – the artist became an engineer wielding
    tools, instead of a painter holding a brush. 
    • Constructivism was a particularly austere branch of
    abstract art founded by Vladimir Tatlin and
    Alexander Rodchenko in Russia around 1915
    Vladimir Tatli - 
    Design for the Monument
    to the Third International
    (TATLIN'S TOWER)

    • Monument to the Third International, also sometimes known simply as Tatlin's Tower, is
    the artist's most famous work, as well as the most important spur to the formation of the
    Constructivist movement.
    •  For Tatlin, steel and glass were the essential materials of modern construction. They
    symbolized industry, technology and the machine age, and the constant motion of the
    geometrically shaped units embodied the dynamism of modernity.
