On the Abstract Form of Modernist Painting and Its Implication of Thingness

Since impressionism, modernist painters have created abstract pictures that are difficult to recognize and explain under the domination of the true emotions of life.The paintings created on the basis of artistic abstraction are independent objects parallel to nature.They not only question and subvert the symbolic order of classical painting, but also break through the rules of language signs.In the face of modernist paintings, the audience can only linger on the appearance of their abstract forms and the display of their own thingness.In the aesthetic process, the accidental factors of abstract form make a series of shocking pictures emerge in an unpredictable way, which causes the audience a strong spiritual tremor and brings people into the original life experience of confronting things.
