ABSTRACT ART
Abstract art: art that takes from reality only what the artist wants or that renders a visual depiction of concepts in the artist’s mind; a work of art that in no way resembles the real world.

“I was returning from my sketching deep in thought, when, on opening the studio door, I was suddenly confronted with a picture of indescribable incandescent loveliness. Bewildered, I stopped, staring at it. The painting lacked all subject, depicted no recognizable object and was entirely composed of bright patches of colour. Finally, I approached closer, and only then recognized it for what it really was – my own painting standing on its side on the easel…
One thing became clear to me – that objectiveness, the depiction of objects, needed no place in my paintings and was indeed harmful to them.” ~ Vassily Kandinsky
