Abstract & Non-Representational

Calea Rahovei, Ipolit Strâmbu(lescu)

Abstraction asked whether a painting needed a subject at all. From the early experiments of Kandinsky around 1910, line, colour, and shape were freed to mean on their own terms, and the canvas became a field of pure relation rather than a window onto a recognisable world.
