Can you understand it? Does it look like anything? Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn39。t want their art to be realistic（現(xiàn)實(shí)的）. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours. Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours （his blue period）. Later, he used more red and pink colours （his rose period）. Many of his other paintings are called cubist （立體派的） because they are made of painted squares. After a long time, Picasso39。s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn39。t understand it. Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists （超現(xiàn)實(shí)主義畫家），were interested in subconsciousness （潛意識(shí)）. Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn39。t always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams. There are still many abstract artists around the world. That39。s the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it. （1）Which would be most like abstract art?
