Generally speaking, the word Abstract refers to something not concrete, which lacks its own reality and therefore, in many cases even materiality. An idea or a art, for example, fit perfectly with this descriptionThe idea cannot be touched or seen, it will only be accessible to human beings through the implementation of reason.
Preeminently, the abstract term enjoys a special participation in the art world as a consequence of abstract art which is a style artistic which aims to highlight those aspects such as color, shape and structure, accentuating them even more, in order to mark its force and expressive value and that of course will stay away from all kinds of imitation of models or natural forms.
For those artists who promote this type of style, the important thing is not to represent things in nature as they are presented. before our eyes, because besides that it would be almost unlikely to be able to repeat with great fidelity to them, what interests them is to create a
visual language autonomous that speaks for itself, that is, that it is endowed with its own meanings that are not related to issues or things that we can see or touch in reality.As always happens when great changes occur, it will be the need to assume the latter, which occurred with strength and presence in the field of science, philosophy and technology, which laid the foundations towards the end of the 19th century for this type of art, which certainly he was confronted with the artistic order established up to that moment, in which the logic perspective and attempts to reproduce the illusion of reality that was seen, lay the foundations of what would come... however, it would not be until the year 1910, in which it would already emerge in a very pure state and as a reaction to realism and Photography.
