Abstract Fine Art

The Art of Abstraction

Abstract art is a form of art that does not represent reality, but rather expresses the artist’s inner vision, emotions and imagination. Abstract art uses shapes, colors, lines and textures to create compositions that are independent of any recognizable objects or scenes, which then challenges the viewer to interpret the meaning and message of the artwork, based on their own perception and experience.

Abstract art emerged in the early 20th century as a reaction to the traditional and realistic forms of art that dominated the previous centuries. Abstract artists sought to create new and innovative ways of expressing their ideas and feelings, using different media and techniques. They experimented with various styles and movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Constructivism and Minimalism.

The Masters of Abstraction

At M.S. Rau, we are delighted to offer you an exceptional collection of fine art, featuring some of the most renowned and influential artists from various periods and styles. Among them are:

Auguste Herbin: A prominent figure in the realm of French modern art, Herbin played a pivotal role in the establishment of two influential collectives: Abstraction-Création and Salon des Réalités Nouvelles. These groups were instrumental in advocating for the advancement of non-figurative abstract art. Herbin's artistic legacy is primarily built upon his exceptional contributions to Cubism and abstract art, characterized by his adept use of vivid geometric forms and a palette that emanates an array of vibrant hues.
