hi this is Anita with Five Minutes with
0:11
Art today I want to talk a little bit
0:13
about abstract art and specifically the
0:16
understanding its meaning and really
0:19
just the beauty of this art form
0:22
abstract art emerged in the early 20th
0:24
century as artists sought new ways to
0:26
express themselves beyond the
0:28
constraints of realism while artists had
0:31
been experimenting with abstraction for
0:33
centuries the movement gained traction
0:36
with pioneers such as
0:39
Kadinski Mooich and Pete Mundreion so
0:43
there's some of the the first ones that
0:46
really started the origins of abstract
0:48
art let's first talk for a minute about
0:52
Kadinsky kadinsky is the first artist to
0:55
create purely abstract paintings he
0:58
believed art should be free from
0:59
depicting physical reality and said
1:02
focus on emotion and spiritual
1:04
experiences his bold colors and dynamic
1:07
compositions reflected his belief that
1:09
visual art could be expressive as
1:12
music mulovich was also another artist
1:16
he introduced supreme modism an art
1:18
movement emphasizing geometric shapes
1:21
and a sense of pure artistic feelings he
1:23
has some famous works which were like
1:25
the black square 1915 which challenged
1:28
traditional artist conventions and
1:30
redefined boundaries of visual
1:32
expressions pete Modrin he was another
1:35
artist too that was known for his
1:37
composition of vertical and horizontal
1:39
lines interacting with primary colors he
1:42
knows understanding sought to achieve a
1:44
sense of universal harmony through his
1:45
artwork influencing modern design and
1:48
architecture now it wouldn't be fair for
1:51
me here to mention all these artists
1:52
without mentioning one more there's also
1:54
a Swedish artist by the name of Hilda of
1:57
Clint was also thought to be one of the
1:59
first abstract artists in um you know
2:02
for her time she really had some great
2:06
painting she was born in
2:08
1862 and she actually died in
2:12
1944 at the age of 81 and after she died
2:16
she asked her paintings be basically
2:18
held for like 60 years so it wasn't
2:21
until the 1960s that people even began
2:23
to see her works of art so she was you
2:26
know she purely abstract compositions
2:29
and so she's really thought to belong to
2:31
the group of one of the first major
2:33
abstract works in modern art history are
2:37
some of her works of art that she really
2:39
had this spiritualism that was tied
2:42
together with her art but you know um
2:46
you know abstract art what does it you
2:47
know what does it mean unlike
2:49
traditional art which may depict a
2:51
landscape portrait a still life abstract
2:54
art does not there's always have a clear
2:57
subject instead of its meaning it's
2:59
often open to interpretation some ways
3:01
to understand abstract art would be with
3:03
like with an emotional response it's
3:05
designed to evoke some type of feeling
3:08
it can have symbolisms and metaphor in
3:10
it and you know to understand the
3:12
artist's intent some abstract artists
3:15
provided insight into their works
3:17
through titles descriptions or
3:19
interviews while you don't need to know
3:21
an artist's intent to appreciate their
3:23
work understanding their perspective can
3:25
help you and a lot of times abstract
3:28
artists the viewers have their own
3:30
personal interpretation on it so you
3:32
know like what do you see in the
3:34
painting how does this painting make you
3:36
feel you know each person may have a
3:39
different uh view on it or may feel
3:42
different as they view the painting and
3:44
that's one of the beauties of abstract
3:47
art itself is that it lies its ability
3:50
to transcend reality and to engage the
3:54
viewers in their own imagination you
3:56
know unlike realistic art you know
3:58
here's what you see this is going to
3:59
depict the world as it is abstract art
4:02
encourages viewers to explore the
4:04
unknown and the meaning beyond the
4:06
obvious so in other words two people can
4:09
view the same abstract painting and see
4:11
it completely differently and that's one
4:13
of the beauties of abstract art abstract
4:16
art also has with it the sort of freedom
4:18
of expression with it that allows the
4:20
artist to break the traditional rules
4:22
and experiment with new forms and
4:26
there's some engagement to your senses
4:28
too it stimulates you with vibrant
4:31
colors dynamic compositions and
4:33
intriguing textures and it has a
4:35
timeless appeal is that abstract art is
4:38
something which has has shown that it's
4:40
it's a timeless work of art and it's
4:43
also great for decoration it's a popular
4:45
choice because abstract art works a lot
4:48
today in a lot of different types of
4:50
interior design you might ask yourself
4:52
well how can I appreciate abstract art
4:54
well a couple things you can do is
4:56
observe without judgment consider your
4:58
emotional reaction and learn about the
5:01
artist and visit art galleries and
5:03
museums are all ways that you can do do
5:06
it and then begin to experiment with
5:08
your own works of art and as you do that
