Abstract Drawings

With the development of contemporary art, abstract drawing grew into a full-fledged discipline that continues to this day. Despite how basic the medium is, antique and vintage abstract drawings are among the most memorable abstract artworks for sale. Bidsquare also offers you a famous collection of antique and vintage abstract drawings at auction for sale. Our abstract drawing collection at online auctions includes the artworks of skilled artists, namely Murray Hantman, Pablo Picasso, Willem de Kooning, Joan Miro I Ferra, Piero Dorazio, and more.

The development of abstract drawings can mainly be attributed to the introduction of the camera. By introducing the camera around the beginning of the nineteenth century, artists were able to flawlessly replicate the pictures of daily life, consequently shifting realism to a traditional form of art. Artists had become more interested in replicating the world via paints, pencils, pastels, and other traditional mediums. Although artists' works from that period are figurative, they include aspects of abstraction in which their drawings replace realistic with expressive. This traditional practice continues even today, as artists endure to discover new ways of presenting non-figurative pictures via drawing.
