Geometric
Definition
This term refers to art that emphasizes the use of geometric shapes, forms, and patterns, often exploring the relationships between lines, angles, and shapes, as well as the aesthetic and symbolic meanings of geometry in both abstract and representational contexts.
History
Geometric art has been a significant element of various modern and contemporary art movements, including Constructivism, De Stijl, and Minimalism, where artists use geometry to explore ideas of order, harmony, and abstraction, often stripping art down to its essential forms.
Notable Examples
Piet Mondrian
Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow, 1930
Key Artists & Movements
Key figures include Piet Mondrian, whose geometric compositions are central to the De Stijl movement, and Kazimir Malevich, a pioneer of Suprematism, whose work reduces art to basic geometric shapes to explore pure abstraction.
Techniques & Materials
Techniques involve the use of painting, drawing, sculpture, or digital media to create works that emphasize geometric shapes and patterns, often with a focus on precision, symmetry, and the relationships between forms. Artists may use a restricted color palette and minimal forms to explore the aesthetic and conceptual possibilities of geometry in art.
