You might be inquisitive about this specific bewildered form of art known as Abstract art which is far from having an exact definition or artistic classification.
Abstract art has been available across the world for well over a century. Some people are of the belief that the history of abstraction may have started with the cave paintings done some thousands of years ago.
Distancing an idea from objective reference is literally known as abstraction; moving a depiction away from any type of literal, representational reference points. Abstract art is also known as nonrepresentational art or non-objective art, graphic art, sculpture and painting where either little or no part is played by the portrayal of things from the visible world.
Elements
Form, texture, line, tone and colour are considered as the elements of abstract art. The artists who lived before the 20th century used these abstract elements in order to embellish, classify or reproduce the human civilization and the world of nature.
A visual language of shape, colour, line and form in order to design a composition that may have a degree of independence from the visual references in the world is used by abstract art. ‘Heat abstraction’ is known as the paintings drawn for the expression of emotions. The rest drawn for the description of the world in the form of an abstract way is recognized as ‘cool abstraction’.
As an abstract painting is drawn, the artists, depending on their aesthetic points of view, make a decision on the correct orientation on which the relevant work should be fixed. Albeit on the back of the canvas, the correct orientation is frequently available, the viewers do not notice it.
The issue on the orientation of abstract paintings has relatively been addressed in some studies done in psychology. Most of these studies show that the paintings with correct orientation are recognized to have got higher aesthetic ratings.
A group of participants joining with an experiment has demonstrated that the intended orientation of the artist agrees with around half of the decisions on preferred orientation.
These indicate that aesthetic quality has got a relationship with the painting orientation. The study on the matter of orientation judgement depicts the objective rules which emphasize visual aesthetic evaluation.
With the enhancement of digital technology, digital images of paintings are widely available on the internet which can make analysis on computer aided painting possible.
The relationship between aesthetic perceptions of humans and the computational visual features has been explored in aesthetic assessments.
But the problem of aesthetic assessment by focusing on computer-aided orientation judgement has not yet been dealt with.
The problem of orientation judgement for abstract painting by computer simulation is mitigated by the enhancement of digital technology in the sphere of art.
With the help of the judgement and analysis of orientation for abstract paintings, the artist is able to understand as to why his paintings are attracted by viewers.
They can also understand how the viewer’s attraction can be further enhanced. Evaluation of art work is subjective, for abstract paintings in particular. Studies done on psychology have demonstrated that the abstract paintings in their original orientation are likely to receive higher aesthetic ratings. Aesthetic value has a relationship with painting orientation.
Cannot be ignored
Only a cross section of society may like abstract art. But it cannot be ignored that abstract art is also an essential part of contemporary art as well.
It is apparent that contemporary art is dominated by different movements which use abstract ideas as well as different types of abstract art.
Different types of abstract art are seen everywhere; art auctions, fairs and exhibitions. You are not able to have an idea on contemporary art if you do not have a regard for the significant place which the abstract art has achieved in today’s world of art.
