Abstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of dividing abstract art into types. The author describes the historically established classification of abstractionism into types based on the artist’s working method and identifies the problem of uncertainty in the criteria for distinguishing one type of abstract art from another. Referring to the experience of defining abstraction in post-war French art, N. S. Popova raises the issue of naming one of the types of abstraction. The article concludes that the division of abstract art into types is impossible without determining the role of mimesis in composition.
