An abstract still life observed from milk bottles by a third grader.
First students collaged theirpaper with bright colored tissues
and then they added bold, black outlines
while observing milk bottles and other plastic soap containers. |
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.
