ABSTRACT
Names: __________________ ______________________ _______________________ Abstract: Also called "non-objective art", "non-figurative", "non-representational", "geometric abstraction", or "concrete art" . Abstract uses a visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art.

Stone Age Abstract Paintings:As far as we can tell, abstract art first began some 70,000 years ago with prehistoric engravings: namely, two pieces of rock engraved with abstract geometric patterns, found in the Blombos Cave in South Africa. This was followed by the abstract red-ochre dots and hand stencils discovered among the El Castillo Cave paintings, dated to 39,000 BCE, and the club-shaped claviform image among the Altamira Cave paintings (c.34,000 BCE). Thereafter, abstract symbols became the predominant form of Paleolithic cave art, outnumbering figurative images

PHOTOS OF THEIR ABSTRACT
Robert Delaunay was a French artist who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, cofounded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. His later works were more abstract, reminiscent of Paul Klee. Wikipedia

Kazimir Severinovich Malevich: was a Russian painter and art theoretician. He was a pioneer of geometric abstract art: form of abstract expressionism, where the process of making the painting becomes more important than usual. Paint may be applied in unusual ways, brushwork is often very loose, and rapid.

Yves Klein (French: [iv klɛ̃]; 28 April 1928 – 6 June 1962) was a French artist considered an important figure in post-war European art. Klein was a pioneer
