Description

From Wikipedia:
Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from
visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic
of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. The arts of cultures other than the European had become accessible
and showed alternative ways of describing visual experience to the artist. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create
a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which
individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time.

Abstract art, nonfigurative art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art are loosely related terms. They are similar, but perhaps not of identical meaning.

Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be only slight,
or it can be partial, or it can be complete. Abstraction exists along a continuum. Even art that aims for verisimilitude of the highest degree
can be said to be abstract, at least theoretically, since perfect representation is likely to be exceedingly elusive. Artwork which takes liberties,
altering for instance color and form in ways that are conspicuous, can be said to be partially abstract. Total abstraction bears no trace of any
reference to anything recognizable. In geometric abstraction, for instance, one is unlikely to find references to naturalistic entities. Figurative
art and total abstraction are almost mutually exclusive. But figurative and representational (or realistic) art often contains partial abstraction.

Both geometric abstraction and lyrical abstraction are often totally abstract. Among the very numerous art movements that embody partial abstraction
would be for instance fauvism in which color is conspicuously and deliberately altered vis-a-vis reality, and cubism, which blatantly alters the forms
of the real life entities depicted.
