Albert Enz - Art poetics between travel and visions<br />
just as the freedom of content became a manifesto of all contemporary<br />
avant-gardes. Abstract art was a movement that emerged during the 20th<br />
century, breaking away from the figuration of past artistic currents, academic<br />
and traditional art, favoring greater gestural and emotional freedom.<br />
The earliest forms of abstraction in art emerged with geometric and lyrical<br />
abstract art, such as that of Kandinsky or Mondrian. Through abstract art,<br />
new visual forms and artistic ideologies were adopted, which certainly<br />
paved the way for subsequent 20th-century artistic movements. Initially,<br />
more traditionalists somewhat rejected this rebellious renewal. Color and<br />
form were elements that received particular attention.<br />
I want to mention Futurism here, for example, which was born in Italy around<br />
1909 thanks to its founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Dynamism, speed,<br />
and opposition to tradition were key points of the Futurist manifesto. Drawing<br />
from stylistic languages of Impressionism, Cubism, Expressionism, and<br />
Divisionism, the Futurists developed their own language that abandoned<br />
the static nature of representation and content. Backgrounds were connected<br />
through lines tending towards abstraction, where force lines traced<br />
in pure and strong colors filled the support, giving life to a renewed painting<br />
