In today’s western countries, abstract art had already become a kind of spiritual needs. When people at a certain era produced desires in his heart, and born the spiritual needs with the time, the desires and needs would be materialized as a work of art through artists’ creation.

Art is an important component of spiritual civilization, at the same time, abstract painting became the western mainstream in 20th century has its historical reasons. It is approximately equal to ask whether the abstract painting is necessary and if the colorful flowers in garden are all necessary. Flowers are a natural product, while art is the product of society and history, and abstract art is just like a flower in garden of art, which limited by the history and spirit of the age. The continuation of the art of painting can not be separated with concretization, and the abstract painting still has the majority of the audience in a very long historical period, for this world is the world of figurative. In the current opinion, people’s desire for abstract art or the needs for minimalist styling, are inevitable response to busy life. With the expanding of material culture, people are tired for daily petty and the concrete world.

The artist, a group of sensitive man, flees and abandoned the mainstream of civilization for not fit to the life, while the painter hid themselves in the abstract art to look for a new path. This is a kind of instinct reaction and a conscious choice. Western painting as a didactic tool has been too old, and what was being said was always repeated overlapping, the rise of capital and the ravages of war have inspired angry cries from the bottom of conscience. Perhaps the world’s corruptions finally lead to the thoroughly disillusion for traditional figurative art, but abstract art would become a temporary breach and a new direction of thinking.
