Abstract Expressionism-painters explored new ways of creating art. They changed the nature of painting with their large, abstract canvases, energetic and gestural lines. The painters often denied the meaningful content of painting, aiming at pure abstraction, yet using very often bright and vivid colours and numerous geometric shapes.
Representative artists: Wassiliy Kandinskiy, Alexandra Ekster

Suprematism − it was a geometric style of abstract painting. Rejected any use of representational images, believing that the non-representational forms of pure abstraction had a greater power and an ability to open the mind to the «supremacy of a pure feeling».
Representative artists: Casimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko.
