Ways of Reading

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif]With a basic idea of the history of abstract art, you can apply a method to every painting you see—so when you’re faced with a “what the heck am I looking at” piece, you’ll know where to begin.[/font]
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif]When looking at any artwork, most people’s first question tends to be “What is this about_” That’s a good place to start, but it won’t take you very far when looking at an abstract work—unless you’re willing to think more creatively. With abstract painting, the piece can be “about” the paint on the canvas, as with Abstract Expressionism; it can be “about” the process of painting for an artist personally; it can even be about the meaning of abstract art itself! Does the painting convey a mood-state or atmosphere, like an Expressionist painting_ What does it prompt you to think about_ Are you confronted with a particular color or shape_ How does what you’re looking at make you feel_ These are all sure-fire points of excavation: begin with asking yourself these kinds of questions and you’ll find the answers a lot less mysterious.[/font]

then right under that paragraph, i see this painting...




and all i can think was, orange juice smeared on a piece of cardboard..  i then follow the questions proposed in the paragraph...

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif]“What is this about_” [/font][font=Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif]it's about orange stuff on a piece of cardboard[/font]
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif]What does it make me t hnk about_  it makes me think about orange ice cream[/font]
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif]How do I feel_  "thirsty, hot, and craving orange ice cream"...[/font]


[font=Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif]so...did anyone else have similar reactions_[/font]

I always say that if art needs explanation, something went wrong.

Abstract Art in Your Collection

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif]As you become more adept at interpreting and appreciating abstract art, you’ll find it’s the perfect medium for any home or space in need of a burst of energy. In your home, abstract art is the solution for complementing your decor with art: without distracting images, scenes, or objects to clash or detract, there’s nothing but color and form to complement your furniture, wall-color, or whatever piece you’re working around. The other great thing about abstract art is that it can mean something to you that no one else sees.[/font]

[font='Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif]With this crash course, you have the tools to explore abstract art and discover what you love. As with almost everything relating to art, the most important thing to remember is to have fun and not to worry about whether you know what you’re supposed to. If you find yourself drawn to abstract pieces, trust your instincts and the rest will follow: becoming educated about something you’re interested in can become a hobby unto its own![/font]

....  i sheee..... so in the end, it's just all subjective...  and.... subjective...

Hey, it's your story. Don't let some one else write the book.

Same goes with moding cars. Cars are very personal things. And what you do to your cars is the same as art. It's all subjective at best.

[angryhampster]

[davek1979]

I'd never counter a cat with a cat. That would be too cat-like.
