Abstract art often leaves people asking: “Is this art?” And that’s precisely the reaction many artists want to provoke.

In its purest form, abstract art doesn’t show recognisable objects or figures. The artist represents his inner thoughts and feelings with shapes, lines, colours and tones.

Abstract art originates in the 19th century. Some say it is a response to the invention of photography, which freed artists from their traditional role as portrayers of reality.

The rapid changes in society affected many artists in the early 1900s. The abstract painter Wassily Kandinsky once wrote: “When religion, science and morality are shaken … then man’s gaze turns away from the external towards himself.”
