This paper will focus on the meeting of far-Eastern and Western arts during the Twentieth Century, and of artists' concerns, coming from different traditions, through the questionings they have formulated about ”space”. It will explore how abstraction has given them the ways to be able to overtake these problems, and study their aesthetics of space. The terms of ”abstraction”, ”abstract art”, ”space” will be defined in their context, the quest for a new artistic language as it appears in the West and in the far-East will be examined, as well as their mutual encountering, and their influence on nowadays artistic creation.
