Abstract painting and Jackson Pollock are the same

While portrayals are not real in the abstract painting, but nevertheless represent the correct visual representation of certain scenes and objects. Actually abstract painting only became popular in the twentieth century, but today it has evolved into an iconic art form with some famous artists (Jackson Pollock and Piet Mondrian himself) to take it to a whole new level. 



Different use of shapes, colors and textures in abstract painting



Much of abstract painting revolves around concepts such as shape and texture and even color are used in a manner in which each element has its own intrinsic value and is able to provoke in the minds of the viewer response to depictions of unreal or not - realistic and even unidentifiable objects and scenes. 



The origins of abstract painting can be traced back to the nineteenth century, when the first Impressionism and then post-impression became popular and there were works of art, putting more on the use of style and color instead of the truth of the representation of objects and scenes. Famous painters such as Monet and Seurat and Cezanne was a motivating factor for these movements and they began to emphasize the inherent artistic ideas that helped to create more original works of art. 



It was only in the twentieth century, that abstract painting was popular, and also in the western world and at that time there was much debate about the pros and cons. In any event, it is a form of painting that uses variable techniques and media and categorization of various paintings as abstract or semi-abstract may prove to be difficult, misleading and also somewhat confusing. However, certain styles such as Cubism and Neo-Impressionism which also Orphism is certainly regarded as a part of abstract painting. 



What's more, much controversy surrounds the abstract painting and especially when viewed by people who are convinced that art only way to create accurate portrayals of various objects and scenes. For fans of abstract painting, however, many iconic works of art that they love and admire, including of course the dynamic and colorful works of Jackson Pollock and more geometric shaped pictures in bright and brilliant colors of Piet Mondrian, and even works by Dutch master Theo van Doesburg.

Besides the visual appeal of these works would also need to factor in aspects such as size of the frame and lines and the relative size and wall color.
