Abstract

Abstract Painting:
Abstract paintings of people are paintings that are not intended to be photographic representations of the human figure, but in which the human figure can nevertheless be discerned. In general, the abstract artist's intention is not to preserve a person's image for posterity, but rather to give expression to the abstract artist's inner self. These are abstract paintings of people in which the human figure is recognizable and sometimes even the person portrayed is recognizable, but the emphasis is not on representational accuracy and the greater part of abstract paintings is the product of the painter's imagination, of what he thinks and feels, rather than what he sees.
