Detailed Description
Abstract illusionism is a genre of painting that emerged in the early 20th century. It is characterized by its use of geometric shapes and colors to create an abstract, often dreamlike image. Famous artists who have worked in this style include Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and Paul Klee. One of the most famous examples of abstract illusionism is Kandinsky’s painting “Composition VII.” This painting features a chaotic array of shapes and colors that create a sense of movement and energy. Another well-known example is Mondrian’s “Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue.” This painting is more subdued, but still uses geometric shapes and colors to create an abstract image. Abstract illusionism is a fascinating and unique genre of painting that continues to captivate viewers today.
