Abstract
art is about "passion." Abstract painters typically splash paint
rapidly, and with force allowing their feelings and emotions to be
transferred directly to their canvas. The painting
method often abandons the use of traditional means for the application
of color, applying paint with hands, fingers or
washes. Kandinsky stated "The
more frightening the world becomes ... the more art becomes abstract."
Paint is generally applied directly from the tube, favoring pure color
from the highest quality paints. The Abstract
movement tossed caution to the wind and reality out the
window as they used emotive colour, abstract shapes and surface texture
to create visual metaphors for modern life. The new movement was built
upon the European masters of abstraction, including Wassily
Kandinsky, Alexei
Jawlensky, Ernst
Kirchner and Paul Klee.
