It’s not a matter

It’s not a matter of simply looking and drawing. He/she must use all their wiles to engage us in dialog with their art, being limited, or we should say, unlimited, with unrecognizable shapes and unrelated (to the object) color. The artist must interest and speak to the viewer through form and color.

A weak, wishy washy, pretty pink flower painting says, “Weak, wishy washy pretty pink flowers!” Bright, bold colors, without form and substance in an abstract painting says, “No form and no substance!” Neither painting is successful.

So….. here we stand in front of the piece of art, having no understanding of abstract art, its purpose and intention. We would like to respond but we are without a clue. So, we hesitate in front of the art work, we don’t know what to say, we don’t respond to the color or design, so, we walk away saying, or at least thinking, “That artist must be nuts!” And wondering what the painting was all about.
