Abstract art was born on the eve of the twentieth century. It's an art form that deviates from traditional representations of drawing art. The aim of abstract art is to experiment with form and colour. It's also possible to suggest that artists are expressing themselves through their artwork. Making perfect replicas of real life isn't the point of abstract art. In reality, abstract art became about the process itself, depending on the artists.

Abstract art of the following types makes us happy:

In ancient art and non-western cultures' art, there was at least some degree of abstraction. In western culture, the influence of these was visible in the Fauves of France. The name comes from a comment made by French art critic Louis Vauxcelles at the Salon de 1905, after seeing a quattrocento-style statue in works by Matisse and his contemporaries.

Geometric Abstract Art: 

Kazimir Malevich's Black Square, created in 1923, was a watershed moment for abstract painting. The only thing in this piece was a black square on a white background.

The impersonal, technical, and mathematical qualities of this geometric abstraction were prioritized over the expressive qualities of the prior art. Simultaneously, abstraction became a philosophical or theological question in Europe.

Abstract Expressionism: 

This technological positivism in abstraction followed one of the most pioneering and canonical abstract styles in the United States, namely Abstract Expressionism. Here, the painters such as Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Helen Frankenthaler bucked the geometric trend and restored mythic, religious, and personal meaning to their pure art abstraction. In this case, artists are talking about art that emphasizes the artist's emotional and psychological response to the subject matter, mostly with bright colours and shape distortions.

The source of your happiness from Abstract Art is as follows:

How do abstract art pictures make you feel when you look at them? Do you notice that they elicit a visceral emotional reaction in you? Is it making you feel at ease? In 2016, Nobel Laureate and American-Austrian neuroscientist Eric Kandel published Reductionism in Art and Brain Science, arguing that there are many parallels between the development of abstract art and the study of brain science. His philosophy was based on the concept of simplification, or reductionism. Kandel argues that breaking down an issue into its most basic components allows it to be more broadly and easily understood. Kandel proposed that great abstract artists create images that interact more explicitly with audiences in ways that heightened emotional responses by reducing artistic values to their most basic state.

Agnes Martin was a painter who used a reductionist approach to her work. Her grid paintings were once characterized as "reduced images of rows of trees," which she saw as a vision of joy. However, the average viewer is unlikely to associate such imagery with trees when gazing at an Agnes Martin grid drawing. It's also doubtful that the average audience will automatically equate trees with joy. Nonetheless, when looking at Agnes Martin's paintings, many people have expressed joy, satisfaction, harmony, and calm. It has something to do with the notion that looking at abstract art allows our brain to do what it was created to do.
