investments as well as collection items. You'll never know how much a certain
painting would cost in the future and with the great awareness and appreciation
of people nowadays for abstract painting, even you can't tell a paintings
value. Some of the famous abstract painters were Picasso, Van Gogh, and
Modigliani. Because of these artist's beautiful works, abstract painting became
even more famous.
o you know what abstract painting is? This
type of painting can be defined in various ways. Unlike traditional paintings,
abstract painting doesn’t portray reality. Before, painting was all about
depicting a realistic or photographic expression of something or someone.
However, abstract paintings are a lot different. The painting itself does not
illustrate real objects. The shapes and colors shown in abstract paintings are
non-objective and non-representing. The painting may refer to a person or to
any other individual, anything, or even nothing. If you can't understand the
meaning of a particular painting, you can ask the experts or even the painter
about its meaning. Natural art lovers on the other hand, don’t need
explanations because if they love abstract paintings, they will understand
clearly the significance of the painting.Try to look at an abstract painting. You will see bright, vivid, and bold colors. Aside from the colors, you will also note that the painting has biometric shapes. For art lovers, this is a beautiful and strange piece.

The artists and painters supported abstract painting and they wanted the freedom of expression through the paintings they made. This made abstract painting more popular. The movement began in a particular school in New York and the movement was also called Action Painting. Among the American schools that joined the movement declared their independence from the artworks of European style. After this, abstract painting was pushed forward.
In order to understand and appreciate abstract painting, you must know its humble beginnings. Even if abstract painting is quite odd, you should still learn to love it because its part of history and it is still a painting which expresses the thoughts and feelings of painters.
