Modern Abstract Art: Why You Don’t Have to “Get It” to Love It
What is modern abstract art?
Abstract art first appeared in the early 20th century, with artists like Kandinsky and Mondrian paving the way. But contemporary abstract art has evolved far beyond those early days.
Today’s abstract artists experiment with:
Unusual materials like recycled paper, digital tools, or found objects.
Innovative abstract painting techniques such as pouring, layering, or collage.
Personal and social themes—modern abstract paintings often tell stories about identity, culture, or community.
In other words, modern abstract painting styles aren’t just about shapes and colours—they’re about expression.
