    Abstract

    Painting

    Concept

    Is a trend of the twentieth century . It seeks to break away from


    traditional representation of physical objects. It explores the
    relationships of forms and colors, whereas more traditional art
    represents the world in recognizable images.

    Wassily Kandinsky

    Wassily Kandinsky was born on December, 16th , 1866 in


    Moscow, in a well-to-do family of a businessman in a good
    cultural environment. In 1871 the family moved to Odessa where
    his father ran his tea factory. There, alongside with attending a
    classical gymnasium (grammar school), the boy learned to play
    the piano and the cello and took to drawing with a coach.. In
    Kandinsky's works of his childhood period we can find rather
    specific color combinations, which he explained by the fact that
    "each color lives by its mysterious life".

    Piet Mondrian

    Pieter Cornelis "Piet" Mondriaan, was a Dutch painter.

    Mondrian was a contributor to the De Stijl art movement and group,


    which was founded by Theo van Doesburg. He evolved a nonrepresentational form which he termed neoplasticism. This consisted of
    white ground, upon which he painted a grid of vertical and horizontal
    black lines and the three primary colors.[2]

    Mondrian's arrival in Paris from the Netherlands in 1911 marked the


    beginning of a period of profound change. He encountered experiments
    in Cubism and with the intent of integrating himself within the Parisian
    avant-garde removed an 'a' from the Dutch spelling of his name
    (Mondriaan)

    Jackson Pollock

    American painter, the most prominent member of Abstract Expressionism. He was


    born in Cody, Wyoming and studied at the Art Students League of New York with
    Thomas Hart Benton. He spent several years traveling the country and drawing. In
    the late 1930s and early 1940s he worked in New York in Projects Administration
    Federal Art Project (Federal Art Project). His first works, in the naturalistic style of
    Benton, Americans represent scenes realistically. Between 1943 and 1947 Pollock,
    influenced by surrealism, adopted a freer and more abstract, as in The Little Foxes
    (1943, Museum of Modern Art, New York) style. From 1947 he evolved into Pollock
    Abstract Expressionism, developed the technique of action painting or dripping,
    consisting of pouring, dripping or throwing paint leave on unstretched canvas. Pollock
    made by this method schemes intertwined shapes as shown in the examples Full
    fathom five and Lucifer (both from 1947, Museum of Modern Art, New York). Brown
    also belongs to this era and silver I (1951, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid). From
    1950 his style changed again, returning to the figuration in black and white, in a
    virtuoso style. Among the paintings of his last period stands grayness Ocean (1953,
    Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York). He died on August 11, 1956 as a result
    of an automobile accident.
