This lively introduction tells the ever-evolving story of abstract
art, tracing its history from the early 1900s right up to the
present day. Emerging out of western movements such as Cubism and
Expressionism, abstract art quickly became a global phenomenon,
changing the face of modern and contemporary art. Stephanie Straine
weaves accounts of well-known pioneers with fascinating insights
into lesser-known ground-breakers from across the world. Although
abstraction in art is often associated with vagueness or the
forbiddingly theoretical, for many artists the abstract represents
pure simplicity. Straine's vivid discussion demystifies the work of
over seventy innovative artists - from Wassily Kandinsky to Emma
Kunz and Rana Begum - and develops our appreciation of their
conceptual approach. A reference section includes a timeline of key
exhibitions of abstract art, suggestions for further reading and a
glossary of art terms.
