geometric abstraction (abstraction, <forms of expression for visual arts>, ... Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Characterized by the use of simple geometric forms placed in nonillusionistic space and combined into nonobjective compositions, geometric abstraction evolved as the logical conclusion of the Cubist destruction and reformulation of the established conventions of form and space. |
