The Spiritual Evolution to Abstract Art

 

“The beautiful is a manifestation of secret laws of nature, which without its appearance would have remained forever hidden.”

Goethe, Maximen und Reflexione

 

Modern painting begins when a new spirituality merges into the works of art in the late nineteenth century. An aesthetic transcends the compositions through a unique range of philosophies and a variety of techniques, uniting with the context of the times and advances in scientific theories. Nature is the nexus of this philosophy, science and arts in the late1800s and it continues into present day interpretations of the visual, literary and performing arts.
