Who did abstract art?

Answer 1

Abstract art has been painted (or drawn or done in graphic techniques) by thousands of artists in the 20th century and still today. Jackson Pollock has painted really good ones. Abstract art is also painted by Pablo Picasso. It IS done today by people all over the world.

----------------------------------

Pablo Picasso was not an abstract artist, he was a cubist. Cubism represents "abstracted" objects from reality and abstract art does not depict any ties to worldly objects, figures or scenes. Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian created the first purely abstract works in the early 20th century.

Answer 2

abstract art was created because the camera was created so people didn't want portiats because they could just take a picture of themselves. so the artist wanted to create something different so they made abstract art.

Answer 3

During the late 19th Century there were various artistic movements which embraced non-naturalistic colors, distorted figures and/or minimalist representations of reality and real-world objects. (Impressionism and Expressionism). In the early 20th Century, Picasso and Braque began experimenting with a further distortion of reality (Cubism). Although Cubist works are abstracted, they are not considered abstract art because they are all tied to representation of real world objects. The first entirely abstract works of art (those free of representation) were the works of Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich. All three artists were influenced by the aforementioned artistic movements.
