Famous abstract artists
Abstract art can come in a variety of styles, forms and schools of thought. Some abstract artists create art for beauty alone, while others are inspired by the Greek philosopher Plato, who believed that beauty lies in geometry. Some abstract painters work with loose brushstrokes; others plan every shape. You don't need to find a hidden answer before deciding you like a piece.Among our famous abstract artists, Bridget Riley is known for patterns that seem to shift as you look at them. Howard Hodgkin's work offers a different experience, with broad strokes and deep colour. Although his paintings can look abstract, he saw them as pictures of remembered people, places and feelings.
