The 33 pages that link to Geometric abstraction, each with the reason it gives.
MinimalismNarrower topic: Minimalism draws on geometric abstraction while reducing composition to basic forms.
CubismNarrower topic: Cubism helped establish geometry as a basis for modern nonnaturalistic art.
Abstract artBroader topic: It is a distinct approach that makes geometry the work's visible subject.
Color field paintingCompared with: Its structured shapes provide a counterpoint to color fields that resist fixed geometric composition.
De StijlNarrower topic: De Stijl is a distinct movement within this broader approach to abstraction.
SuprematismNarrower topic: Its formal vocabulary clarifies Suprematism’s squares, circles, and crosses.
Kazimir MalevichRelated: His squares, circles, and planes make geometry the basic vocabulary of Suprematist painting.
Action paintingCompared with: Its controlled geometry contrasts with action painting’s irregular, bodily marks.
Piet MondrianNarrower topic: His grids belong to a broader practice of organizing art through geometry.
Robert DelaunayNarrower topic: Delaunay’s circular and angular compositions helped make geometry an independent pictorial language.
Hard-edge paintingNarrower topic: Hard-edge painting is one branch of abstraction built from clearly bounded shapes.
Gestural abstractionCompared with: Its planned geometry contrasts with gestural marks that preserve the movement of making.
Black SquareRelated: The square and ground reduce the composition to basic geometric relations.
Color fieldCompared with: Geometric abstraction foregrounds defined shapes, while color-field painting often subordinates them to color.
Lyrical abstractionCompared with: Its planned geometry differs from lyrical abstraction’s fluid, improvisational marks.
Antoni GaudíCompared with: Gaudí’s geometry served structural and naturalistic aims rather than abstraction as an end in itself.
Cubo-FuturismNarrower topic: Some Cubo-Futurist compositions approach abstraction through the breakdown of recognizable forms.
Joan MiróCompared with: Its regular geometry provides a foil to Miró’s irregular, biomorphic shapes.
Non-objective artRelated: Its forms often provide non-objective art with a precise visual vocabulary.
Theo van DoesburgNarrower topic: His paintings and design writings made geometric abstraction a vehicle for a proposed universal order.
Concrete artNarrower topic: Concrete art is a particularly strict form of geometric abstraction.
NeoplasticismNarrower topic: Neoplasticism is a particularly strict form of this broader approach.
PrecisionismNarrower topic: Precisionist artists used geometry to simplify recognizable subjects rather than abandon representation.
Josef AlbersNarrower topic: His paintings use repeated squares to make color relationships visible.
Sol LeWittRelated: Geometric forms provide the visual vocabulary for many of his rule-based works.
Geometric artBroader topic: It makes geometry the primary subject rather than a decorative framework.
Sonia DelaunayRelated: Circles and other geometric forms organize many of Delaunay’s compositions.
BiomorphismCompared with: Its regular geometry provides a clear visual counterpoint to biomorphism's irregular forms.
Richard MeierRelated: Meier’s buildings use interlocking geometric volumes to shape space and movement.
Victor VasarelyNarrower topic: His art develops geometric abstraction into systems that produce perceptual effects.
Sophie Taeuber-ArpNarrower topic: Her recurring circles, rectangles, and grids place her within this broad visual tradition.
Composition with RedRelated: The painting replaces depicted objects with rectangles, lines, and color.
Esther MahlanguRelated: Its formal vocabulary helps describe the shapes and structured compositions in her work.
