The earliest style of abstruct art was found in signs, markings even pottery, textiles and inscriptions and paintings. These were simple geometric and linear forms which might reveal a symbolic or decorative purpose. It was this type of art which began visual abstruct art, for example; you can enjoy the beauty of chinese calligraphy and Islamic Calligraphy without being able to read it.
There are three art movements which contributed to the coming of abstruct art, these were Romanticism, Impressionism and Expressionism.
Some of the abstract artists are; Kazimir Malevich and Henri Matisse.
Malevich was a russian painter and art theoretician, in 1913 he start to create some of his first geometric patterns in a style he called suprematise. He later began painting in a post-impressionist manner with a hint of cubism as well as futurism in his art work.
Malevich's black square was one of his most bold and striking art piece's, below you can see the ark work.
My thoughts on this are that I believe he was try to be daring and it worked, this was daring not just for him but also for the public.
Henri Matisse is a french painter known for his use of colour, he was a master draughtersman, printmaker and sculptor. Matisse is regarded, with picasso as the greatest artist of the 20th century. He was concided to be part of the fauvism movement. However, in the 1920s he was hailed as an upholder of the classical tradition in french painting.
One of his most famous paintings is called 'The Dance', Below is the art work.
