| Abstract art is, to me, the most challenging & in a way, the purest type of painting. It utilizes all of the same elements that representational art does... composition... color... value... light & shadow... movement & passion. It is more challenging because there is no "picture" that is the goal... the end result is not predetermined... it is purely a journey towards the unknown. |
Abstract art seems to be a bit
intimidating to some people... they
think they are suppose to understand
what it means... it's much like listening
to a piece of instrumental music... it
can transport the listener through a
whole range of feelings without the
need to understand the intention of
the composer.... & that is, to me, the
power of abstract painting... because
the mind has nothing recognizable to
grab onto, it goes right past the
thought process and touches you
emotionally... without necessarily even
being able to say why.... I think if a
piece of art needs an explanation to
be appreciated, then the artist has
missed something.
