ATTIC Alert
Modernist abstract art emerged in the early 20th century, reflecting a significant departure from traditional artistic techniques and themes.
The use of torn paper and layered textures may be indicative of art movements that value process and materiality, often associated with post-war artistic explorations.
Artists like Shelley may draw on the historical context of abstract expressionism, emphasizing emotional expression over representational accuracy.
