Subject TYZHDEN 2010 ON THE BOUNDARY: Abstract versus RealAbstraction as one of the fundamental ideas of 20th century art, was elaborated in the context of the development of modernism (late 19th - early 20th centuries). Exactly one hundred years ago, in 1910, Vassily Kandinsky wrote the famous treatise Concerning the Spiritual In Art and then created his first abstract watercolors. A radical departure from figurative vision of the world, from anthropomorphic representation and perspective that have dominated in the European Art since the Renaissance took place towards the non-figurative art. Kazimir Malevich, Vladimir Tatlin, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni not only expanded the visual expression formally, but also showed the philosophical possibilities of Abstract, its self-sufficiency and ability to embody the spiritual and intellectual in an artwork. Tyzhden / Week of Contemporary Art-2010 raises a question about the future of Abstraction and its relationship with Realism which has not disappeared but continues its own development next to the "pure" abstraction. The reality of Abstraction and the abstraction / convention of Realism will be the subject of this Week. Where are the bounds? Answers are abound.... |
