Wassily Kandinsky is called the father of Modern Art. He
was Russian by birth and his paintings are displayed in
their chronological order in the Lenbachchaus Museum of
Munich. His style evolved into semi-abstract and progressed
to abstract gradually.
Abstract art does not try to copy or relate with any
external object. It is a completely subjective form of art.
The composition is depicted through the intrinsic qualities
of its form and colour through support-materials.
Abstract painting is elusive and difficult because it
demands the skills of a skilled draftsman, a sensibility for
colour composition and vision. Piet Mondrian gave a
geometrical dimension to abstract art because of his
exposure to cubism in France. He is an important presence in
the world abstract art painting.
Visuals of emotional experiences, spiritual insights,
sounds and mental states are also depicted through the
abstractions of modern art through figures. In these reality
is simplified by depiction of essences by eliminating
objective details.
It is an art which breaks away from its creator and has a
pulsing life of its own when displayed. It has to be
intellectually interpreted and emotionally felt to be
understood.
