Abstraction between the spirituality of Kandinsky and Mondrian’s geometric art in printmaking

Abstract

: Abstraction is a feature of art in the twentieth century. The ideal of abstraction has become for the artist to be liberated from the subject so that art has its own language that is away from the realistic description of things and depends on the simplicity of shapes and colors. The artist was able to move from the space of imitation to the space of innovation and creativity. Modernity began with Expressionism where; The value of the light receded in front of the outpouring of color violence expressing the raging subjective feelings that rage with passions in a revolution against the inertia of the outside world. Among the most important pioneers of the abstract school are the Russian artist “Vassily Kandinsky” (1866-1944) and the Dutch artist “Pet Mondrian” (1972-1944). Spirituality is necessary in art for Kandinsky as it is necessary in life, so “Kandinsky” transcends his liberation to pure music forms. As for geometric abstraction and rigor, we see it in Mondrian’s work.
