Transcript of IMA Lecture 5: abstract art
Dankook University:Introduction to Modern Art
Lecture V:Abstract Art
• abstract art - a term referring to various art styles that first emerged in the early twentieth century in Europe and which do not use representational imagery, or which select and then exaggerate or simplify forms suggested by the world around us. Cubism and Futurism explore abstraction, while Vassily Kandinsky, (Russian, 1866-1944) and Piet Mondrian (Dutch, 1872-1944) are two of the first creators of pure abstraction.
