Abstraction in MoMA

I visited "Inventing Abstraction" exhibition in MoMA.There are abstract art work during the 1910-1925. I like exhibitions which is put lot of same style and same group artist together. I think this is good way to learn art history. We can find how they influence by each others even they are from different country and different major.  I also learn how abstract art develop  from this exhibition. But I don't think all of this art work are" inventing abstraction", I would like say for me, impressionism is inventing abstraction.

There are three works I like it:

1. Blue II by Georgia O'keeffe in 1916. material is watercolor on paper. This painting like frizzy baby, painter just use blue color, maybe bit green color. I think she using big brush, and paint very fast. Georgia O'keeffe listening music when she was paint this work. For me, I feels some pain and struggle from this painting, but I really like this color, I can feels water are flowing in this painting.

2. Suprematist composition by Kazimir Malevich in 1915. material is oil on canvas. This painting use 8 different shape  red rectangle to composition on white background, looks very simple, but there are some small diversification, especially after many years, the 8 rectangle has different fission, very beautiful. Because hie style claimed supremacy over the forms of nature, so Kazimir called it "Suprematism". I think abstract painting they chose some detail or one of element from real life, and recreate.

3. Gitterbild( Lattice Picture, also known as Grid Mounted) by Josef Albers in 1921. Glass, iron latticework, and copper wire. When Josef Albers  made this work , he was enrolled in the glass workshop. I really like this work , very colorful and interesting, each piece of glass is different, color, transparent and the copper wire. Harmony but not sameness.
