The origins of Abstract art comes from the Impressionist movement of the 19th century and in artists like Monet and Cezanne who painted in a manner that relied more on how the individual interprets the world, rather than depicting in absolute realism.It is an interprtation of an artist's own experiences and their own internal selves. The significance of abstract art lies not just in it's Importance to all modern art but in the "Art Experience". Before this movment, art was focused on realism and visual pleasure but now, abstract art is not only about "seeing" but also "feeling".
