Contemporary Abstract Painting
Petite Gallery
Abstract painting derives from Antiquity, notably decorative Celtic art. Similar designs were later taken up by early Christian artists for use in illuminated manuscripts, and also appear in Islamic art. [1] In the early part of the last century, abstract art was a radical departure from the art that had gone before it. [2]
