| ABSTRACT PAINTINGS |
| 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 and emotions
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.
