What is Geometric Abstraction Art?

A geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art based on the use of geometric forms sometimes placed in non-illusionistic space and combined into non-objective (non-representational) compositions.

Although the genre was popularized by avant-garde artists in the early twentieth century, similar motifs have been used in art since ancient times.

Is abstraction an art movement?

Abstraction isn’t a style or movement. It can exist in all art to a certain degree. It’s more, ‘freedom from representational qualities in art’ and ‘not representing things in images.

It’s more about how the beauty of shapes and colors can override representational accuracy.

Wassily Kandinsky.

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist. Kandinsky is mostly credited as one of the pioneers of abstraction in western art.
