Abstract Art -
Abstract Art, an invention of the twentieth century, is an art that is not a precise illustration of a form or object. Wassily Kandinski is known as the founder of this form of art. It is up to the artist’s liberty to take an object, simplify or overstate it. This form of art or painting has no reference to any metaphoric reality. Cubism, Neoplasticism, and Abstract Expressionism are the three forms of abstraction that matters.

Cubism is a movement in which forms are abstracted by using a logical approach to the object and painting the basic geometric solid of the subject. Cubism is a reaction to the impressionist period in which there is more of a stress of light and color. Picasso and Braque are the important exponents of this movement.

Neoplasticism is the faith that art should not be the reproduction of actual objects, but the expression of the reality of life. This reality or absolutes of life were vertical and horizontal lines and the primary colors according to many artists. Piet Mondrain was an ardent follower of the movement.

Another form of abstract art is Abstract Expressionism. It is a style of painting in which the painter demonstrates his personality through spontaneity. Most abstract expressionist art is a study in color and brush stroke. Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko are real exponents of the form.

The work of Wassily Kandinsky and Kasimir Malevich as well as Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov are generally seen as the first fully abstract paintings in 1911. Movements in modern art are to be considered in terms of the concepts which they exemplify, accompanied as they were by manifestos and declarations.

Many paintings which come under the abstract cateegory are now available online. The reproduction paintings done by our skillful artists are best in quality and perfection. Oil paintings are reproduced on canvas in the most effective way possible.

Modern Art -
Modern art encompasses a remarkable variety of styles, movements, and methods. One of the most important characteristic of this form of art is that it strives to make the painting end in itself. Thus it distinguishes modernism from others. It is by nature defiant and this defiance is most apparent in a pursuit for originality.

Many people describe this form of art with what is radical and distressing. The main reason behind this would be the difficulty to comprehend the meaning implied or the complexity in understanding the obscure connotation. Another key characteristic of modern art is its appeal to modern technology and its squeeze of mechanical methods of reproduction.

Modern art's celebration of art for art's sake was initiated by French artists mostly associated with the philosophy of impressionism, like Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Berthe Morisot etc.

In the nineteenth century, there were some modern art movements which started with impressionism. The impressionist painters mostly preferred to paint outside and also studied the effect of light on objects. Paul Gauguin carried impressionism to its limits applying expressive colors to his paintings. Fauvism followed which used simplified designs, while Expressionism was a German version of Fauvism. Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Art, Opt Art movement etc are other movements which followed.

Many modern art works done by the famous artists are now reproduced in its most effective way. We offer quality reproduction oil paintings with or without frames in various sizes and affordable rates.
