Geometric Paintings - A Brief History

With the emergence of abstract art in the early 20th century, geometric abstract art emerged as a greater camp of expression along with gestural abstract art. Following the emergence of Cubist and Futurist paintings, geometric abstraction evolved that translated the non-representational and the non-objective into a stark pictorial language of the simple euclidean geometric shapes placed in non illusionistic space. Geometric forms in western art have been a key source of inspiration since the earliest efforts at abstraction, frequently serving as a transitional medium between figurative and abstract art. 

Although geometry has always existed in art, Geometric paintings and other forms of this art emerged at the turn of the 20th Century with movements like Cubism and Futurism as artists broke with traditions by painting geometric shapes that capture the fundamental structure of subjects. Cubism employed an illusionistic post-renaissance perspective to subvert the traditional depiction of the visual world through a more simplified and more geometric reality. Cubist painters, most notably Pablo Picasso and George Braque created geometric paintings characterized by bold lining and angular contours in a palette of browns, greys, and beige while futurism explored the notion of time and space. 

Through the development of abstraction throughout the 20th century and the 21st century, geometric abstraction has been a constant inspiration for abstract artists as they take its conventions in new directions through the means of painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture, among others with hidden meanings, protests, analogies, and deliberate simplification to demonstrate the simplicity of complex things.
