-The roots of abstract art may be found in native cultures and later in some works of [[Romanticism]], [[Impressionism]], [[Fauvism]] and [[Expressionism]] Schools' artists. [[Paul Cézanne]]'s [[Post-Impressionism]] works, aimed to make a construction of reality based on an special view that  modulated color in flat areas, became the basis of a new trend in visual art and a catalyst for the abstract art of the 20th century. He is often seen as anticipating cubist. ''Today's perception of abstract art dates back to 1910, when [[Pablo Picasso]] and [[Georges Braque]] invented [[cubism]] which within half a decade, led to the pure abstract art created by [[Piet Mondrian]] and Russian styles such as constructivism and suprematism.'' <ref> [http://paintings.name/] </ref> Russian-born French [[Wassily Kandinsky]]  is considered one of the fathers of abstract art. Around 1914 and 1915, [[Henri Matisse]], with expressive use of strong colors and free and imaginative drawing, comes very close to a pure abstraction idea as in ''The Yellow Curtain''.

 Between 1910 and 1920, abstract art developed in America, Europe and Russia through the efforts of Cubists like Duchamp and Lipchitz, [[Dadaism|Dadaists]], Volticists and Futurists like Kasomir and [[Piet Mondrian]]. Artists experimented with an increased zeal, liberated in their creation from the conventional forms.
