Pepe Carmel, author of "Abstract Art: A Global History," is an eminent art historian who has dedicated his life to the study of abstract art. His work is the result of many years of research and deep immersion in the world of non-figurative painting. Carmel does not simply describe paintings and biographies of artists, he offers the reader a fascinating journey into the world of abstract ideas, symbols and emotions that artists put into their works.
In his book, Carmel not only analyzes individual works and movements in abstract art, but also considers it in a broader cultural and historical context. He explores how social, political, and philosophical changes influenced the development of abstractionism, how different cultures perceived and interpreted it. The author also draws attention to the connections between abstract art and other forms of art, music, and literature.
