The philosophy behind abstract art:
"What many people don’t know is that the worldview behind the rise of abstract art was pantheism.
The first abstract painter was Kandinsky, who wrote a book called On the Spiritual in Art, which preached an eclectic mix of Eastern and Western mysticism.
In it, he argued that the way to overcome philosophical materialism was to get rid of material objects.
In his words, abstract art would liberate the mind from “the harsh tyranny of the materialistic philosophy”—it would become “one of the most powerful agents of the spiritual life.”
The abstract painting is intended to free the mind from its preoccupation with material objects and draw the viewer up to the spiritual realm -- to merge with the One or the All.
In Hindu and Buddhist meditation, the most popular mantra is the syllable Om. What’s the purpose of repeating the same monosyllable over and over again? To clear the mind—to free it from preoccupation with the material world until at last you transcend rational thought, achieve inner silence, and merge with the Infinite or the Void.
How would you express this visually?
The parallel to the monosyllabic Om is the monochromatic painting—a canvas painted all a single color.
The abstract expressionist Ad Reinhardt is best known for a series of all-black paintings that represent, in his own words, a “mystical ascent” —in which the mind leaves behind “the world of appearances” composed of individual things until it reaches an “undifferentiated unity.” Beyond thought, beyond reason.
The theologian Francis Schaeffer offered a fascinating phrase for this: he called it a “mysticism with nobody there.”
It may give us a mystical experience, a sense of being lifted out of the ordinary, mundane world—but to connect with what? Not with a transcendent person who loves us, and communicates with us—but with sheer emptiness and silence.
The abstract expressionist Mark Rothko painted several large dark panels for a chapel called the Rothko chapel. What was he saying with these dark somber paintings?
The person who commissioned the paintings said they express “the silence of God, the unbearable silence of God.”
Shortly after finishing the paintings, before the chapel even opened, Rothko committed suicide. A mysticism with nobody there is not enough to give a sense of significance and meaning to life."
