Organic Abstraction information


Organic Abstraction is an artistic style characterized by "the use of rounded or wavy abstract forms based on what one finds in nature."[1] It takes its cues from rhythmic forms found in nature, both small scale, as in the structures of small-growth leaves and stems, and grand, as in the shapes of the universe that are revealed by astronomy and physics.[2] Nautillus shells and honeycombs are examples of organic structures that have served as inspiration for this work,[3] along with the bones and musculature of the body, both human and animal.[4]

Frank Lloyd Wright, 1959, Solomon R. Guggenheim Art Museum, New York City. The "Chambered Nautilus on 5th Avenue"[5]

Although organic abstraction has been described as a "feature" rather than "an actual movement,"[1] the style arose in part as a reaction against the austerity of mid-century Constructivist art and is best known for its practitioners of the mid 20th century, whether in sculpture--Jean Arp, Constantin Brâncuși, Henry Moore; architecture--Eero Saarinen, Frank Lloyd Wright (for the Guggenheim Museum); or design--Charles Eames, Isamu Noguchi. Some recent critics contend that the term Biomorphic Abstraction is coming to be used more generally to describe contemporary art produced in this mode.[6]
