Brief introduction of abstract oil painting

"Abstraction" is a concept relative to "concreteness", and it is a new concept that combines the commonalities of various things. This concept is called "abstraction".

Abstract painting took a long time to form. However, no matter which school, its similarity lies in trying to break the traditional concept that painting must imitate nature. In the1930s and after World War II, various forms derived from abstract concepts became the most popular and unique artistic style in the 20th century. Abstract painting is based on intuition and imagination, rejecting any symbolic, literary and explanatory expression, and only integrating shapes and colors into the picture. So the pure color presented by abstract painting is similar to music. The development trend of abstract painting can be roughly divided into: (1) geometric abstraction or cold abstraction. This is based on Cezanne's theory and developed through cubism, constructivism and new formalism. It is characterized by a tendency to be geometric. This school of painting can be represented by mondriaan. (2) Lyrical abstraction (or hot abstraction) This is based on Gauguin's artistic concept, developed from Fauvism and Expressionism, and has a romantic tendency. This painting school is represented by ﹝Kandinsky﹞.
