Briefly describe the meaning of abstract painting

Abstract art is generally understood as an art that does not describe the natural world, but is expressed in a subjective way through shapes and colors. In the early 20th century, abstract art mainly refers to the art of expressing the natural world, such as cubism and futurism. Although it needs the constant internal quality of something, it is not by imitating its external performance.

Abstraction is defined as art without analogy and realistic reference. A broader definition is to describe the real subject matter in a simplified but primitive and natural way. Joan Miro's abstract painting is a good example of this broader definition.

Abstract art, especially abstract painting, is a very prominent phenomenon in modern art, which completely breaks the limitation of emphasizing the realistic expression of the theme, combines the basic elements of art abstractly and creates abstract forms, thus breaking through the barrier that art must have recognizable images and creating a new world for the development of art.

The original meaning of the word abstraction means that people abandon the representation factors of things and extract the essential factors in cognitive thinking activities. Applied to the field of fine arts, there are concepts such as abstract art, abstractism and abstractism.

Generally speaking, abstract art is a specific artistic trend of thought and genre concept in modern western art (it can be seen that this concept does not cover the art with "abstract factors", "abstract techniques" and "abstract style" in traditional art). In practical application, abstract art has a wide meaning, which can be opposite to figurative art, and generally refers to various artistic phenomena with abstract characteristics in modern western art, but the meaning of abstraction and abstraction is narrow, especially abstract thoughts and schools.

On the whole, modern abstract art in the 20th century is a rebellion against the western tradition of imitating natural art, which opposes the objective description of natural images and advocates abstract analysis and expression. Broadly speaking, modern abstract art includes two types: the first one is abstracted from natural images, forming an abstract artistic image that has some connection with natural images; The second category is abstract, not based on natural images, and consists of pure forms. Abstract art in a narrow sense, that is, abstract thoughts and schools, is the second type. It denies depicting concrete objects, and it is not based on natural objects. It only uses the basic painting language and formal factors to create pure abstract painting, so as to express some spiritual content or aesthetic experience such as emotions and ideas.

Generally speaking, abstract painting is a kind of painting that has little or no similarity with natural objects, but has a strong form to form a face. An emotion or three-dimensional concept is expressed mainly through random graphic combination.

Abstraction is a concrete relative concept, which is a new concept synthesized by taking out the common points of various things. This concept is called abstraction. Abstract painting refers to the painting style that wants to get rid of imitating nature in the 20th century. It includes many schools, not the name of a certain school: its formation has undergone a long-term evolution. 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. The development of modern abstract art in contemporary China and abstract Chinese painting in contemporary China are mainly two situations. One is the exogenous contemporary abstract art of "integration of China and the West", mainly the exogenous modern art and the contemporary art with reference to the western contemporary art system; One is the endogenous "post-Chinese painting" China abstract Chinese painting art under the mobile art movement in China.
