Abstract Art
• By the 19th Century arts of other cultures had become accessible to Europeans showing alternative ways of describing visual experience to the artist. By the end of the 19th century many European artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy.
• Artwork which alters color and form in ways that are obvious, can be said to be partially abstract. Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable.
• Non-Representational is claimed by the artist only, who views his art as merely design and composition, void of any meaning.
