*** About Abstract Art: Abstract art uses shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect. Though it does not attempt to represent accurate depictions of visual reality, it seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, colors, and textures. This genre of art—flourishing in the 20th century following the pioneering work of artists like Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and many others—places emphasis on expressive potential of compositional elements. It's a staple in contemporary art for its flexibility in conveying personal, cultural, and conceptual meaning without the constraints of precise representations.
