Description
Abstract Art: A Comprehensive Introduction to Modern and Contemporary Abstraction Since the early 20th century, abstract art has been a subject of fascination, controversy, and debate. This revised edition of Abstract Art explores the origins and evolution of this style, placing it within broader cultural context. The book examines the pioneering work of key artists, including Hilma af Klint, Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, and Piet Mondrian, alongside other influential movements such as Russian Constructivism and De Stijl. It also discusses the development of abstract art in different regions, including North America, Europe, China, Korea, and the Middle East. With extensive updates and new chapters, this edition provides a fully global coverage of modern and contemporary abstraction, from the geometric abstractions of the 1930s to the more expressive styles of recent decades.
