Does it look like anything?Abstract art became popular in the early 20thcentury. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt(雕刻) things exactly like they looked. They didnt want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colors.Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colors (his “blue period”). Later he used more red and pink colors (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist(立体画派)”because they are made of painted squares.After a long time, Picassos paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original; many of other artists didnt understand it.Kandinsky, another famous artist, used shapes to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colors to express feelings.Other artists, like surrealists (超现实主义者), were interested in the subconscious (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their works. The meaning or subject of their work wasnt always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.There are still many abstract artists around the world. Its often hard to say what their art is about.
