artists themselves are both musicians and painters, such as Kandinsky, Schoenberg, Leonardo da Vinci and extra. One of the great examples is Wassily Kandinsky. He is one of the representatives of Russian expressionism painter. He also was a man versed in music. He is a friend of expressionist music composer, Schoenberg.

Abstraction in the United States Through the Twentieth Century Abstraction is the creation of art without representation of objects, in which the artist has total freedom of the art that they are creating. I will be using three paintings from three different time periods in order to show the development and lasting effects of abstraction in the twentieth century. The first work that I will be looking at is Foghorns by Arthur Dove. I will use this piece to show the beginning of abstraction, and how

The artist illustrates musical harmonies and conflicting colors and forms to produce a beautiful art work (Kandinsky, 1926, ). Color composition in lyrical paintings often are used to set a rhythm for the painting and the same goes for the compositions of forms.

Sunflower Sunflower, 1980 by Stefan Bertalan, is part of a series titled I Lived for a 130 Days with a Sunflower Plant. Bertalan studied a sunflower plant for its entire life cycle, documenting its journey each day through drawings, and a written diary. Bertalan mixes gestural drawing of a monochromatic sunflower on the left with a painted one on the right. He doesn’t have a concern for portraying the colors of the plants accurately but has chosen to use a mostly blue palette that is as aesthetically
