The abstract movement began in the early 20th century as artists sought to break away from traditional representation in art. Influenced by developments in modernism and advancements in technology, artists like Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian explored color, form, and line to express emotions and ideas rather than depict the physical world. This shift was partly a response to the rapid changes in society and culture, including the impact of World War I, which prompted a reevaluation of artistic conventions. The movement gained momentum through various styles, including abstract expressionism and geometric abstraction, ultimately reshaping the landscape of contemporary art.

Abstract Expressionism
The movement that radically simplified the language of abstract painting to color and a limited set of forms is known as Color Field Painting. Emerging in the 1940s and 1950s, it is characterized by large areas of solid color with minimal shapes and contours, emphasizing the emotional and perceptual experience of color itself. Key figures include Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Helen Frankenthaler, who sought to create a direct, immersive experience for the viewer. This movement was part of the larger Abstract Expressionist movement but focused more on color and simplicity than on gestural brushwork.
