Abstract art uses visual elements like form, color, and line instead of pictorial representation. By the late 19th century, many artists felt the need for a new type of art that reflected changes in technology, science, and philosophy. Abstract art departs from depicting reality by not using imagery but rather focusing on internal visual forms.
