Vintage Geometric Abstract Art

Abstraction in art refers to the use of geometry, form and color to convey meaning as opposed to recognizable depictions of familiar objects. Cubism was a revolutionary new approach to representing reality invented in around 1907–08 by artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. They brought different views of subjects (usually objects or figures) together in the same picture, resulting in paintings that appear fragmented and abstracted.

Cubism emphasized geometric form, lines and simplified composition. Geometric abstraction can be thought of as a subcategory of abstract art, it is based on geometric forms and shapes. Abstract art creates an art work that is expressive, unique, and thought provoking. Presenting below some masterpieces that defined the golden era of pure abstraction.
