However, a wide variety of mediums can feature it.To have a better appreciation for abstract art, we should understand precisely what it is.

The range of meanings of abstract art can be quite broad. However, a precise definition would be: types of Western art of the 1900s, which: A) discard representation and B) have no starting points or finishing points within nature. It is important to note that it is completely a modern form. The reason is that the art itself is abstract. In other words, the abstraction is not based on a particular object or nature itself.

When did Abstract Art begin? Towards the end of the 1800s, artists began to reject the idea of art reproducing objects and nature. Rather, they started to focus on the notion of revealing one’s thoughts and unconsciousness. Today, this type is presented in various forms, such as wall art. This did not begin as a specific art form. Instead, it evolved parallel to other movements (i.e. Cubism, Expressionism, and Fauvism).

The Russian painter Vasily Kandinsky often receives credit for being the first artist to paint exclusively using Abstract Art. That was during roughly 1910. Then from roughly 1915-1920, it became more popular due to the Netherlands’ De Stijl group.

The idea quickly grew in popularity in the U.S., due to two European exhibitions in the early 1900s. The first one was in New York (1913), while the second one was in San Francisco (1917). During this period, several young American painters, such as Georgia O’Keeffe, began to experiment by using new artistic styles. Between World War I and World War II, Abstract Art continued to grow. In fact, by the 1930s it had become Western art’s most typical attribute.

After World War II, the art form Abstract Expressionism had been born in the United States. In fact, it was greatly impacting American and European sculptures and paintings.

In the 1950s, the Minimalism became the primary catalyst of Abstract Art. Some of today’s abstract wall art portrays this artistic style. This form was simpler and less personal than its previous variations. Within time, its focus developed into exploring the connection between forms and colors. By the dawn of the 21st century, art forms such as conceptual and figurative art had become as significant as Abstract Art.
