Abstract Art Movements: A Complete & Clear Overview - Abstract Art Explained (Part 5)

[@contemporaryartissue]

One day later than usual due to some uploading issues, but here is the final video of our abstract art explained series. Please note this overview is a simplified version of art history, with art movements overlapping and developing dynamically from one decade to another, as is our limited selection of main representatives. For a more extensive take on abstract art history, I really recommend the publication linked in the description! Enjoy and chat soon!

[@anonymus830]

Thank you so much! Abstract art has always been frustrating to me. I've never really understand it and seen it as a joke. But I watched your videos and gained some perspective. It's not my favorite art movement, but I respect it and started understanding it a little bit. So, thank you! It's been a great educational resource!

[@boozewan]

Great series! Perrier is a good dog, constantly waiting to catch your eye, loves the human.

[@contemporaryartissue]

She's the very best! Greetings from us both!

[@loriwakefield1]

Thanks!

[@contemporaryartissue]

Thank you so much, Lori; you are the best!

[@ctaylor1460]

Nice overview of abstract art -- thanks.

[@contemporaryartissue]

The pleasure is all mine! Thank you for tuning in

[@loriwakefield1]

thank you for the abstract art history lesson

[@contemporaryartissue]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching

This narrative large focuses on how abstract art movements developed in America. I would have included representation of how Abstraction developed in Europe, movements such as Informalism and Matter painting, which dramatically differed from the American approach. x

The dog's expression - umm interesting, meh, ok, wtf, really?, time for lunch!

[@contemporaryartissue]

Exactly, 100% accurate 😂

[@youspidertube]

Great series and very useful. But also extensively State-side-centric?

[@contemporaryartissue]

Thank you very much! Yes, there is indeed an argument to be made from that perspective. Thank you for tuning in

[@santhoshr1734]

Its very interesting

[@contemporaryartissue]

🙌

[@MrCarreiraXavier]

Congratulations on the videos, and the education they provide. Personally I like De Stijl or Neo Plasticism, but it seems that it is something rare to see as a reference in current painters. Am I wrong? Are there any contemporary painters where this influence is visible? Thank you Miguel

[@AWAT176]

Is there geometric abstract as a type of abstract art?

[@contemporaryartissue]

Yes, there certainly is. Geometric abstraction is abstract art depicting geometric shapes, most often with hard edges. Other types of abstract art are op art (optical illusions), lyrical abstraction, monochromes, and expressive abstraction

[@janyakov7655]

this dog is evident interesting about abstrakt.

[@spectrem]

Very interesting stuff! What was going on in 1915 that lead to the beginning of many of these movements?

[@trevordavies5486]

WW1

[@dr_shrinker]

Photography

[@contemporaryartissue]

There was a lot going on for sure; the emergence of photography made us rethink the role of painting for years, the industrial revolution and the rise of modern life made us believe in radical innovation and progress, and the World War was indeed another catalyst. A Copernican revolution in art.

[@belabuchhorst1219]

Could you do something about Hans Hartung?

[@contemporaryartissue]

Great suggestion, terrific painter!

[@daveblood00]

Dog: i like figurative art

[@contemporaryartissue]

😂😂😂

[@MikriMausPaja]

I have to know what is this dog breed that you have? Can you please tell me :)

[@contemporaryartissue]

Perrier is a female British Golden Retriever-they are a bit smaller and have more different shades of gold in their fur. They are the best!

[@ronimogy1133]

I would not watch this but than your doggy is there

[@contemporaryartissue]

I believe she is responsible for 95% of our subscribers for sure 😂

[@manuelfranciscorojasbarra2165]

What you have to say about abstract surrealism???

[@contemporaryartissue]

Abstract Surrealism of Joan Miro and Jean Arp is not 100% abstract as it is derived in a surreal manner from representational forms-but it is as powerful!

[@janeeaton7025]

Needs reviewing as first abstract artist was a woman Hilda ef Klint - think that is her name

[@contemporaryartissue]

Dear Jane, thank you for tuning in. We included Hilma Af Klint in an other video from this series discussing how and when abstract art emerged. In this video, we discuss the most prominent abstract art movements. Af Klint was kind of isolated, and does not necessarily fit into a historical art movement, hence being excluded from this video. I hope this might clarify the issue. Thank you for tuning in!

[@gfok]

The dog fell asleep again

[@contemporaryartissue]

Tired from her morning walk and meal. Hard work!

[@隼原口]

you look like my friend, nice video

[@contemporaryartissue]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@the-andre]

I really love this informative series. Thank you. But the dog is throughly engaged ~ not!

[@contemporaryartissue]

😂 Thank you for your kind words, greetings from both of us!

[@robertmorri9332]

In your complete and clear overview of abstract art , it seems , you've Overlooked me , Robert Morri. You won't believe it , but I'm the most prolific and original artist in the world at this moment. The reason I'm overlooked is probably the total lack of Honesty one encounters in the Art World . Plus art has put me in the poorhouse so that I can't reach a sufficient audience , nevertheless I'm that rare case of having objective claims to fame that are but cannot be denied . I invite you to test you're HONESTY on me . I can be found on Facebook where for the last ten years I've been growing my art daily so why not take a look ?

[@gurugabi6477]

Haha, great! But it won"t happen! He is interestef in dead artists. 😄

[@dnlgrmn7169]

Haha. You are so funny.

[@glynisheenan219]

Why dose the past always have to be the future and why can’t the moment just be the moment. There’s always new techniques dose it really matter whether an artist did it in the 20th century verses the 15th century it’s new to the 20th century nobody is going to take the place of the person in the 15 th century but at least give the young artist the benefit of the doubt after all what dose he know of the 15th century. After all we only can control the moment in time

[@gurugabi6477]

Why don't you say where comes from Constructivism at first?! I am not satisfied by your explanation of what Suprematism was.

[@allak8294]

Cubism is also abstract art…

[@contemporaryartissue]

Cubism is not pure abstraction-it is an abstracted representation of reality, showing its representational traces.

[@allak8294]

@@contemporaryartissue yes, but not all abstract art is non-objective, is it?

[@miguelangelcarrancomontelo5578]

What does that poor dog in such a channel?

[@reichhopprivatwatch1406]

what he does is just be

[@contemporaryartissue]

I believe she's here to support me mentally-or she simply does not want to leave the couch 😅
