Famous Abstract Contemporary Art Paintings

Famous Abstract Contemporary Art Paintings
Abstract Art came about in the last few centuries where artists sought to move away from pure realism painting and put in their own style and emotion into the subject of their painting. From the Renaissance and Baroque styles of almost photo-realistic paintings, abstract contemporary art began to become popular.
Romanticism, Impressionism and Expressionism followed on from the traditional art styles and started to allow artists to impress their own creativity. Such styles laid the foundations for the later art movements which are collectively referred to as Abstract art, in the modern era.
Post-Impressionism continued the change towards abstract art yet further, thanks to works by the likes of Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cezanne. Inspired by the likes of Paul Cezanne, Fauvism & Cubism were created, bringing famous artists like Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Wassily Kandinsky & Pablo Picasso to the public’s attention. Synthetic Cubism also followed. The Abstract Contemporary style that we have now was ready to be created at this point.
In Britain the first Abstract art exhibition was opened in 1935, with paintings by the likes of Piet Mondrian, Joan Miro, Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson on display the following year at a more international event.


The attack on art by the Nazi party in the 1930s and 1940s forced some abstract artists to flee to America which resulted in the likes of Modernism, Late Modernism, American Modernism, and Surrealism starting to gain popularity, particularly in New York. These attempts to control art’s direction actually helped to spread communication of these new art movements to the rest of the world.
The 1950s to now have brought us the likes of Neo-Dada, Fluxus, Conceptual Art, Neo-expressionism, Installation art, Performance Art, Video Art and Pop art. Pop Art of course remains hugely popular today with the likes of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein still selling well.
Modern Abstract Contemporary art styles include the likes of Abstract expressionism, Color Field, Lyrical Abstraction, Post-Painterly Abstraction, Sculpture, and Minimal Art, though new movements appear all the time, particularly with the influx of computer based artists, and different styles of digital art.

Making a Living As a Multi-Talented Artist

Making a Living As a Multi-Talented Artist I find most artists, whether you’re a painter, dancer, musician or any other creative medium also have a secondary medium that they explore in. It is challenging already to take a personal talent and make it work for you in a financial way. A lot of artists are talented in their field but lack the know how to get the ball rolling. So if you are an artist that enjoys a couple different ways to express your art, how do you choose which one to take to a professional level? A level in which you can make a living. These are the questions that I had to ask myself when I decided to leave the “work for someone else world” and just wanted to do art. There is no right way. The beauty of being a true artist is paving a personal path through trial and error. I will explain how I developed my painting skills to start to bring in income. Also how I decided out of the talents that I possess – guitar, martial arts, dance and painting how I chose what one

Jules Verne’s 19th century works live in our 21st century, having begun their march toward reality in the 20th century: man can fly, search the seabeds, cure many of the ailments that were deadly in earlier times.

A bold, bright print that captures the eye can serve as a focal point, with furnishings, colors, and accents all working to complement that piece. Conversely, a landscape painting can provide interest but otherwise be assimilated into the overall theme and design scheme. When it comes to living room decor, wall art can really pick up a room. Here are some tips and ideas on integrating framed art pictures into your living room decor.
