Today the largest museums in the world are proud of the works of pioneers of Non-figurative art of Kandinsky, Malevich , P. Mondrian, P. Klee, as well as many other abstract artists. Moreover, all these hundred years are still debating the place of abstract art in our lives, does not abate the conflict between the inner vision of existential process and the supporters of figurative descriptions of reality. Seemingly intractable conflict, but the world of abstract images of long ago filled the surrounding space, manifested in the pattern on the fabric, interior design, silhouette, furniture, clothing, appliances, etc. We have long been living - not realizing it - among the visual forms, generated by Mondrian, Malevich, Brancusi, Klee, , Exeter , Lisitsky , Stenberg , Slides , Rauschenberg and many others. Visual abstraction firmly established in the very heart of contemporary culture has altered the direction of modern humans.

Abstractio - «distraction," but this is not a banal distraction from reality, and artistic search for a new vision, new feeling world.
