Pure painting refers to an art form that is focused solely on the use of paint and color as a means of expression, without any reference or representation of external objects or ideas. It is an abstract style of painting in which the artist uses colors, shapes, forms, and gestural marks to create a composition that exists purely for its own sake, with no intention other than to evoke emotions or feelings through visual language. Pure painting is often associated with movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, and Lyrical Abstraction, which emphasize the use of color, texture, and form in a non-representational way.
