6 styles in Manchester- Abstracion

Abstraction:

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, “Photogram”, 1926( photography)
in The Photo Book

This example has been influenced by Abstraction. The photograph by Hungarian Laszlo Moholy-Nagy is non-representational. It does not describe nature but expresses something about it. It is created “straight” by artist and contains only formal elements like: light, line or shape. Just like abstract paintings, this photograph, by showing less, tells us more. I think it is a good example of abstract photography. I like more abstract paintings though.





Windows of building in Manchester, Hulme Street


I have chosen this building’s windows because it reminds me Piet Mondrian’s paintings. These windows are an example of geometrical abstract art in Manchester. They are non-representational and minimal, only colour, line and shape are used. Just like Mondrian’s art works these windows are painted with primary colours, verticals and horizontals. I really like the idea of creating windows inspired by abstract art. It is, in my opinion a superb example of this movement in Manchester.
