Abstract art history • Post Impressionism as practiced by Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne had an enormous impact on 20th century art and led to the advent of 20th century abstraction. The heritage of painters like Van Gogh, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Seurat was essential for the development of modern art. At the beginning of the 20th century Henri Matisse and several other young artists including the pre-cubist Georges Braque, André Derain, Raoul Dufy and Maurice de Vlaminck revolutionized the Paris art world with "wild", multi-colored, expressive, landscapes and figure paintings that the critics called Fauvism. With his expressive use of color and his free and imaginative drawing Henri Matisse comes very close to pure abstraction in French Window at Collioure, (1914), View of Notre-Dame, (1914), and The Yellow Curtain from 1915. The raw language of color as developed by the Fauves directly influenced another pioneer of abstraction Wassily Kandinsky
Why did I choose abstract art • I choose abstract art because I think that the abstract art pieces are very interesting because they are really hard to understand and they do not represent anything , some people think that it is just painting anything but actually for painting abstract you have to have a big talent and have a lot of culture. That’s why I choose this vanguard.
Henri Matisse • He was the creator of Fauvism which influenced abstract art: • Henri Matisse Fauvism founded (through revolutionary art group called the Fauves), which focused on (and excelled at) the use of colors to represent feelings rather than insist on a realistic representation of the subject of the original color in nature . For example, a woman's face can be purple and blue to represent the sadness macabre, instead of the usual peach or brown skin tones. The leaves of a plant could be red and green flowers, the wallpaper can be exaggerated in magenta instead of beige. • Matisse painted with romantic colors and bold transitional expressing emotions and feelings instead of portraying a traditional and realistic "picture" of the subject. His paintings are of simple construction, almost comical, without too much unnecessary detail, giving a slightly abstract of paper cutting, with the outbreak in color.
