Question

Prompt

We have all seen those solid colored canvas pieces in the museum. Do you think they qualify as abstract art? Defend your point of view.

Answer 1

yes, these qualify as abstract art.

Step-by-step explanation:

they qualify as art because art isn't about the detail or the showcase its presented in. Abstract art is "art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures," and right in the definition is colors. Also, beyond the definition, art is meant to make people feel something, and it is proven that colors are invokers of feelings. For example: some people perceive red as anger, or love, and some may see a color and associate a feeling of home or comfort with it. Art is supposed to make the viewer see something, so therefore the colors first off qualify as art, but also abstract art seeing as the canvas is a shape, and it is color, and they represent something trying to be portrayed.

Answer 2

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Abstract art is all art that separates from the natural and realistic expression of the world representation. There are many ways to create abstract art and experimenting with solid colors and space is one of them.

The paintings which show the solid colors on the canvas are likely part of the monochrome painting, part of the avant-garde. They both are part of the abstract art as they step away from naturalistic expressions.

The monochrome paintings are not trying to show the images existing in nature and everyday life. Instead, they want to explore the colors, textures, space, and texture in order to awake certain feelings and convey some message.
