História da Arte (Resumo ENEM) Arte abstrata

Abstract art is an artistic movement that broke free from figurative representations of the world. Instead of depicting objects, people, or landscapes in a recognizable form, it focuses on exploring the intrinsic qualities of form, color, line, and texture. This purely visual approach, which emerged in the early 20th century, paved the way for a new form of expression in which meaning and emotion are conveyed through non-representational compositions. The Emergence of Abstraction The abstract movement was not an isolated event, but rather an outgrowth of several trends and innovations that marked the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Post-Impressionism, with artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne, already explored the expressive use of color and form. Cubism, led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, fragmented reality into geometric forms, challenging traditional perspective. The transition to complete abstraction is often associated with Wassily Kandinsky. In his 1910 work, "First Abstract Watercolor," he completely abandoned figurative representation. Kandinsky believed that art should express the artist's "inner need," and that colors and forms could have a spiritual and emotional power of their own, without the need to depict the physical world. #resumoenem #arteabstrata
