What's the difference between concrete painting and abstract painting?

First, the starting point is different.

1. Abstract painting is based on intuition and imagination.

2. Concrete expressionism is a possibility of painting. Feel life, discover truth with perception, and find stillness from movement.

Second, different forms of expression.

1, abstract painting excludes any symbolic, literary and descriptive expression, and only blends shape and color on the picture and organizes it.

2. The theory of concrete expressionism is an open theoretical system, which suspends the original experience and theory, makes it invalid, and thinks what one thinks in a phenomenological way, thus surpassing the original art. ..

Contemporary figurative expressionism has the painter's abstract thought and philosophical spirit. It is not a simple pictogram of things, nor a simple and rude grafting of Chinese and Western paintings. Instead, it takes concrete images as the carrier and provides a foundation for the communication between things.

On the one hand, it pays attention to the careful observation of the visible world and redefines the essence of painting activities from a professional perspective; On the one hand, on the basis of phenomenology, the phenomenon of painting is led to the content, and the essence of painting is sought, so that the realistic image can be regenerated, the aesthetic experience and creativity of human beings can be reflected, and the artist's understanding of things can be fully expressed in visual cognition.

The development trend of abstract painting can be divided into two categories:

1, geometric abstraction: This is based on Cezanne's theory and developed through cubism, constructivism and neo-formalism. It is characterized by a tendency to be geometric. This school of painting can be represented by mondriaan.

2. Lyric abstraction: This is based on Gauguin's artistic concept, developed from Fauvism and Expressionism, and has a romantic tendency. This school of painting can be represented by Kandinsky.
