His name was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wassilykandinsky.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wassily Kandinsky<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Abstract art was to Kandinsky, like music without words. It is all about the interplay of line, shapes, colors, and textures which can be said to be the language of art. Abstract artists put value in creativity, inventing new worlds.<\/p>\n<p>American artists have given us a wide range of abstraction from geometric statement with shapes that have \u201chard edges\u201d such as the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jacktworkov.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jack Tworkov<\/a>\u00a0painting or the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikiart.org\/en\/nassos-daphnis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nassos Daphnis<\/a>\u00a0work,\u00a0<em>Palace at Minos<\/em>.
