Geometric abstraction is a form of artwork that uses geometric forms or shapes. Some twentieth-century American artists are known for their use of geometric abstraction. This list includes artists such as Al Held, Bridget Riley, Frank Stella, Ilya Bolotowsky, and Josef Albers. Locate some pieces by these artists, or others who work in the same style, and describe what you see. How does the artist use geometry to elicit a feeling or emotion in the viewer? What might be the artist’s purpose in creating the work? In your mind, how does geometry contribute to the success or failure of the piece? Do you appreciate this kind of “geometrical” artwork? Why or why not?

Artists such as Al Held, Bridget Riley etc are known for their abstract artwork or geometric artwork. Riley is famous for her optical artwork.

This art form is present among many cultures throughout the history both as decorative motifs and as art pieces themselves. Like in Islamic art, this art depicts religious figures. The optical art gives the viewer the impression of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibrating patterns. Basically it gives a disorienting effect.

Besides optical art, other abstract art forms are also famous. These imbibe a strong imagination and a sense of creativity in its viewers. This art form puts different colors, shapes, and textures together to create a finished piece that represents something in particular.

Yes, I appreciate this kind of art form because these forms are genuine and helps us understand the art patterns. Unlike the traditional form, these forms explore the relationships of forms/shapes and colors. Moreover, art always reflects culture. Therefore, abstract art is important because it is reflecting a culture that has been moving since last 2000 years.
