Question

There were two great "catalysts" for the movement toward abstraction that we see in the mid-19th century in Europe, like in Edouard Manet's Dojouner Sur L'Herbe. What were these?

Answer 1

The two catalyst that drew artists to appreciate abstract art are:

• It represents what is being felt on the inside rather than what is being seen on the outside.
• It breaks away from traditional representation of everyday objects and known subjects.

Abstract art

This is an art which does not represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead uses shapes, colors, forms and gestural mark to achieve its effect.

Abstraction did not represent any form of realism, but instead broke rules.
