abstractionists
n. C1 Advanced ab·strac·tion·ists
n. people who create art that focuses on shapes, colors, and lines rather than showing real objects. They do not paint things as they look in the world.
n. artists who produce work that focuses on the visual qualities of form, color, and line rather than representing recognizable subjects. Often associated with modern and contemporary art movements.
The abstractionists use bright colors to show their feelings.
Modern galleries often feature abstractionists whose work challenges viewers to find meaning in pure color and texture.
While some critics dismissed the abstractionists for abandoning traditional perspective, others argued that their work captured the chaotic energy of the post-war era more effectively than any realistic depiction could.
