Abstract Art Quotes
Abstract art quotes here span genuine debate within the art world, from an artist claiming abstraction effectively ended with Malevich's Black Square, to a defense of abstract art as clearing space for figurative art's return, to a blunter observation that people like abstract art partly because it makes them feel clever. Together they capture both the seriousness and the skepticism surrounding abstraction as a movement.
These abstract art quotes debate abstraction's legacy, from Malevich's Black Square to modern skepticism. For more on artistic craft, see our Art collection.
