The three-part text – as the title suggests – involves multifaceted problem of abstraction. Part I. Pedigree of abstraction. The emergence of abstraction is the result of consistent course of different phenomena, beginning as early as the nineteenth century and preparing the ground for appearance of Kandinsky and Malevich at the beginning of the first decade of the twentieth century. In the same time the existence of duality is connected with two forms of abstraction as a continuation of instances of those artists: forms of abstraction of ‘poetics of expression’ and forms of abstraction of ‘poetics geometry’. The opposition of figurative and abstract art is the result of common oversimplification, as well as the binding of its existence only with the twentieth century.
