Abstract Art Abstract art looks nothing like what you would normally see with the human eye. It doesn't imitate the viewed world. Instead, it changes the position of images, moving them where you would not usually see them or, making them look completely different. Abstract art took a step forward during the beginning of the 19th century. Artists like Picasso and Cezanne were popular around this time.
Abstract artists use soft, loose brush strokes to bring out the main object in a picture.
Paul Cezanne's pictures encourages other artists to use abstract shapes in their pictures. Abstract art was first developed in Europe. It falls into two major categories. Abstract art, in one way, is starting as the same image seen, and then not changing the realistic features of the picture. The second category is changing the picture purposely, giving the picture a look that has no relationship to the actual image.
