ABSTRACTION

 ABSTRACTIONIST movement arose form the

intellectual points of view in the 20 th century. In the
world of science, physicists, were formulating a new
view of the universe, which resulted in the concepts of
space-time and relativity. This intellectualism was
reflected even in art. While expressionism was
emotional, abstractionism was logical and rational. It
involved analyzing, detaching, selecting, and
simplifying.
Various Styles under Expressionist
Movement
Cubism
Futurism
Mechanical style
Non-objectivism
Cubism – it was derived its name from
the cube, a three-dimensional geometric
figure composed of strictly measured
lines, plates, and angles.
Futurism – began in Italy in the
early 1900s. As the name implies, the
futurists created art for a fast-paced,
machine-propelled age.
Mechanical Style – as a result of the
futurist movement, what became known as
the mechanical style emerged. In this style,
basic forms such as planes, cones, spheres,
and cylinders all fit together precisely and
neatly in their appointed places.
Non-objectivism – the logical geometrical
conclusion of abstractionism came in the
style known as non-objectivism. From the
very term “non-object”, works in this style
did not make use of figures or even
representation of figures.
