A phenomenological study of abstract art through the mediation of human psychological processes

Abstract

The phenomenology of abstract art seeks to interpret and understand the meaning inherent in abstract works of art through the direct experience and perception of the viewer, where forms, colors, and lines help express the feelings, concepts, and inner experiences of the artist and the viewer, rather than representing reality. Abstract art focuses on aesthetic and psychological experience and allows the viewer to discover a personal and unique meaning in the meaning of the work. The importance of phenomenology in abstract art is related to a deeper understanding of the experience of the concepts and feelings inherent in the works of art and the relationship between the work and its audience, and deals with the "self-essence of objects" in abstract painting. Human psychological processes are a set of mental and psychological activities including perception, attention, memory, motivation, emotion, thinking, and problem solving that affect his behavior, feelings, and decisions, and form the basis for the formation of his personality and individual experience. From the perspective of abstract art phenomenology, human psychological processes are of fundamental importance because abstract art allows the viewer to discover their own psychological processes in the face of the artwork and a kind of internal dialogue is formed between the artwork and their mind. By focusing on lived experience and the indirect transmission of emotions and concepts, abstract art highlights the importance of human psychological processes on both sides of the producer (artist) and the audience (viewer).
