civilization that had brought on such horrors,
these artists rebelled against established norms
and authorities, and against the traditional
styles in art.

involved analyzing,
detaching, selecting,
andsimplifying.
 ABSTRACTIONISM
Artists reduced a scene into geometrical
shapes, patterns, lines, angles, textures
and swirls of color.
The resulting works ranged from
representational abstractionism,
depicting stillrecognizable subjects (as
in the artwork on the left), to pure
abstractionism, where no recognizable
subject could be discerned.
