Movements like Cubism, Futurism, and later Abstract Expressionism revolutionized the art world, challenging traditional notions of beauty and subject matter. These artists sought to convey emotions, ideas, or spiritual truths through non-objective compositions.

Geometric abstraction, a significant branch of abstract art, emphasizes the use of geometric shapes and patterns. Artists like Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky pioneered this style, using precise lines and forms to create harmonious and balanced compositions. This approach often seeks to evoke a sense of order, universality, or a connection to underlying structures of reality. See less
