Objective abstraction was a form of abstract art developed by a group of British artists in 1933. Experimentation was prevalent in British art at the time. The main figures were Graham Bell, William Coldstream, Edgar Hubert, Rodrigo Moynihan and Geoffrey Tibble. The paintings produced by the group used 'improvisation from freely applied brushstrokes'[1].
The exhibition 'Objective Abstractions' was held at the Zwemmer Gallery[2] in 1934 where the group showed their work, except Hubert. The exhibition also included work by more representational artists, Ivon Hitchens, Victor Pasmore, and Ceri Richards.
The movement was short-lived lasting only a few years. Many of the artists involved went on to be part of the realist Euston Road School.
