Geometric abstraction
open-in-new
<p>Geometric abstraction is a form of <a href="/facts/Abstract_art/GSJo7bbm">abstract art</a> based on the use of geometric forms sometimes, though not always, placed in <a href="/facts/Perspective_(visual)/zkNx7Wpf">non-illusionistic</a> space and combined into non-objective (non-representational) compositions. Although the genre was popularized by <a href="/facts/Avant-garde/6ofnXfo4">avant-garde</a> artists in the early twentieth century, similar motifs have been used in art since ancient times. </p>
