Abstract Art in Malta
This is a project that addresses the study of Abstract Art in Malta, starting from the pioneering work of Giorgio Preca in 1951, followed by that of Emvin Cremona in 1957.
The study explores other Maltese artists who embraced abstract painting, like Oliver Agius, Carmelo Mangion, Frank Portelli, Esprit Barthet, Alfred and Philip Chircop, and many others. It provides a wider context of the abstract art practices taking place in Europe and the United States.
The research comes up to the present times to include other abstract art practitioners including but not limited to Pawl Carbonaro, Luciano Micallef, Vince Briffa, Anton Grech, Austin Camilleri, Joseph Paul Cassar, Isabelle Borg and others.
