          Хилма Аф Клинт 1862–1944

          Švedska Born in Солна Apstraktna umetnost, Spiritizam Wikipedia in 24/32 languages

          Хилма Аф Клинт

          Hilma af Klint, a Swedish artist born in Solna in 1862, remains one of the most compelling and historically significant figures to emerge from the dawn of abstract art. However, a pivotal moment arrived with the death of her younger sister, Hermina, which sparked a deep exploration of spiritualism and esoteric practices. Her encounters with Rudolf Steiner, founder of Anthroposophy, further refined her spiritual beliefs and artistic approach.

          Јоханес Итен

          Undeterred, Itten established the “ontos weaving workshops” near Zurich in 1924, collaborating with Bauhaus weaver Gunta Stölzl. In 1926, he founded a small art and architecture school in Berlin, where Ernst Neufert, a former Bauhaus architect, also taught, continuing to disseminate his innovative pedagogical methods. Johannes Itten, born in 1888 in the tranquil Swiss village of Südern-Linden, was more than just a painter; he was a visionary educator who fundamentally reshaped the landscape of modern art instruction.

          Константин Бранkuši

          Konstantin Brâncuši stoji kao monumentalna figura u istoriji moderne skulpture, prepoznat širom sveta zbog svog revolucionarnog pristupa formi i nepokolebljive posvećenosti izvlačenju umetničkog izražavanja u njegovu najčistiju suštinu. Rođen 1876. godine u Hădărămašu, u Rumuniji, Brâncuši je započeo izvanredno putovanje od skromnih početaka da bi postao jedan od vodećeg inovatora apstraktne umetnosti. Putanja Brâncušijeve karijere doživela je duboku transformaciju tokom njegovog boravka u Parizu između 1906. i 1914. godine.

          Rođen 1916. godine u obalskom gradu Ulžinu, u Južnoj Koreji, njegov umetnički put bio je proces neprestane eksploracije i nepokolebljive posvećenosti stvaranju novog vizuelnog jezika za naciju koja se borila sa pitanjima identiteta i modernizma. Juov put ka apstrakciji počeo je formalnim obrazovanjem na Univerzitetu Bunka Gakuin u Tokiju, gde je 1938. godine diplomirao na odseku za slikarstvo na ulju.

          Gheorghe Șaru

          In 1963, his studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti Pietro Vannucci in Perugia, Italy, further refined his understanding of classical construction and modern experimentation. Beyond the canvas, Șaru was a man of diverse creative pursuits; he designed public mosaics, illustrated children's books, and collaborated on intricate tapestry works with his wife, the artist Liana Saru. As a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest, where he earned his Master of Fine Arts in 1948, Șaru was deeply influenced by the master Jean Alexandru Steriadi.

          British Geometric squares

          Bob Brighton

          Brighton’s artistic development wasn't entirely solitary; he drew inspiration from a diverse range of sources. He developed a distinctly personal vocabulary within this framework, prioritizing the interplay of color and the dynamic tension between positive and negative space. The reductive aesthetic of Piet Mondrian, with its emphasis on primary colors and orthogonal lines, undoubtedly played a significant role in shaping his approach to composition.

          Karl Šmid

          Rođen u Cirihu 1914. godine, njegove rane godine bile su zasenejene ličnom tragedijom i nestabilnošću; gubitak oca tokom Velikog rata i složene borbe njegove majke sa mentalnim zdravljem stvorili su okruženje koje je zahtevalo ogromnu otpornost. Upravo je tu on kretao u orbitama divova kao što su Oskar Kokoška i Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.

          Ukrainian Born in Lviv Abstract art, Nonconformism

          Karlo Zvirynskyi

          While initially uninterested in painting, he enrolled in the German art and industrial school in Lviv during World War II, a period of upheaval and uncertainty. This led him to study under artists like Mykola Butovych and Volodymyr Balias, laying the groundwork for his future artistic endeavors. Born in the small village of Lavriv nestled within the Carpathian Mountains, Zvirynskyi’s journey was one of quiet rebellion and profound spiritual exploration, ultimately establishing him as a key exponent of abstract expressionism and a significant contributor to the Soviet nonconformist art movement.

          Thiago Boecan

          Brazilian ['Neo-Figurative Art', 'Abstract Art']

          Thiago Boecan

          Boecan's early exposure to the vibrant artistic community of São Paulo undoubtedly played a crucial role in his development. However, Boecan distinguishes himself through his minimalist approach and focus on geometric compositions. The influence of Brazilian Neo- Figurative Art is palpable – a movement known for its psychological intensity and exploration of the human condition.

          David Kakabadze

          David Kakabadze, rođen 1889. godine u selu Kuki blizu Honi, u Gruziji, predstavlja ključnu figuru u razvoju gruzijske umetnosti dvadesetog veka. Njegov rani život, iako ukorenjen u jednostavnosti seljačke porodice, bio je obeležen intelektualnom radoznalošću koju je omogućilo pokrovništvo, što mu je omogućilo studije na Univerzitetu u Sankt Peterburgu, gde je 1916. godine diplomirao prirodne nauke.

          Victor Servranckx

          Servranckx’s formal artistic education began at the Brussels Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1913 to 1917. It was during this period that he encountered René Magritte, a relationship that proved profoundly influential. Notably, Servranckx favored simple, often neutral titles like “ Opus 1,” “Opus 2,” etc., for his paintings – a deliberate strategy designed to strip away any referential context and allow viewers to engage with the work purely on its formal qualities.

          Čarls Gibons

          Čarls Gibons, kanadski umetnik rođen 1957. godine, pravi velike talase u svetu umetnosti svojim očaravajućim apstraktno-ekspresionističkim delima. Njegov stil, iako apstraktan, čini se duboko ukorenjenim u principima apstraktnog ekspresionizma, pokreta koji je proizašao 1940-ih godina. Ovaj uticaj je očigledan u njegovim radovima, koji često sadrže nenaslovljena dela, slična onima koje je kreirao Heimo Zobernig u svom delu Untitled (200 x 200 cm), prikazujući umetnikov nagon ka nereprezentativnim formama.

Njegov prva samostalna izložba u Marlborough New London galeriji 1964. godine bila je praćena značajnom muzejskom izložbom u Whitechapel galeriji 1967. godine, koju je kurirao Brajan Robertsun.
