Abstract art is an independent creative art form that uses the basic elements of art and means of expression in two ways: geometric abstraction and lyrical abstraction. Geometric abstraction uses points, lines, and surfaces in compositions while lyrical abstraction opposed Cubism and Surrealism and includes styles like Tachism, Color Field painting, and Abstract Expressionism. Abstract art developed through different art movements and schools using pure colors and forms or through an analogy to music. Famous abstract artists include Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky.
