Description
The chart is an interactive lineage map. Geometric abstract art sits at the center, on a timeline that runs from older movements at the top to newer ones at the bottom. The movements that influenced it appear above it, any parallel movements it developed alongside sit on its own row, and the movements it later influenced appear below. Every line is a real, cited connection between two movements: a solid line is an influence historians broadly agree on, and a dashed line is an indirect, parallel, or contested link.
For Geometric abstract art (c. 1910 – Present), it traces two movements that shaped it, all well-established links: Abstract art and Cubism; it runs alongside four parallel movements, all well-established links: Concrete art, Constructivism, De Stijl and Suprematism; it fans out to two movements it went on to influence, all well-established links: Op Art and Plasticien.
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art based on the use of geometric forms sometimes, though not always, placed in non-illusionistic space and combined into non-objective (non-representational) compositions. Although the genre was popularized by avant-garde artists in the early twentieth century, similar motifs have been used in art since ancient times. Read more ↗
