Abstract(s)
This study arises from a personal quest to understand the emergence of abstract art. Drawing on Kandinsky (1997), a pioneer of this movement, it becomes essential to comprehend the historical and social context that enabled a new approach to painting, as well as the notion of "inner necessity" that drives the artist in the creation of his work. Through a comparative analysis of relevant philosophers—namely Schopenhauer (2005) and Schlegel (1988)—and an examination of the society of the 19th and 20th centuries, I have written the present text in such a way that both I and any reader, regardless of academic background, can answer two fundamental questions: What historical and social development gave rise to abstract art? What motivates the artist to produce abstract works? The present investigation aims to enrich the debate. This study represents a significant contribution to the state of the art.
