  • The Explanations Behind The Popularity Of Reproduction Abstract Oil Paintings
    By: Paul Cleary | - Abstract paintings are technically a product of putting together diverse geometric shapes, colors and lines. Although it is similar to traditional or classic paintings in the perception that it draws its inspiration from emotional, sensory and intellectual stimuli, it is unique because it does not make an attempt to represent tangible objects or scenery.

  • Modern Abstract Art Demands Participation From The Observer
    By: Jeff | - Modern abstract art is both celebrated and misunderstood. It is the epitome of artistic freedom of expression, using forms, textures and colors that often represent emotions or other intangible elements, rather than actual physical objects. It emphasizes a symbolism of spontaneity and subconscious meaning designed to transcend ordinary physical boundaries in a way that requires interaction.

    By its very nature, abstract art offers a variety of styles and methods that virtually have n ...

  • Lea Kelley: An Abstract Expansionist
    By: Jeff | - Last month I wrote a brief introductory article about a wonderful Bellingham, Wa. artist named Lea Kelley. She is active in her community, is a delightful and insightful person who has proven herself to not only be a very educated and technical artist, but also as someone who thinks in deep and abstract ways about the world, and our place in it. Kelley has described herself as an abstract expansionist. This is intriguing, so while there are many other things that could be said about Kelley, her ...

  • Emotion In Modern Art: Cause Or Effect?
    By: Jeff | - One might justifiably wonder about emotion and its relationship to modern art. It's a natural thing to consider, given that experiencing art often provokes an emotional response in the viewer. In fact, many people have felt, and feel, that the real purpose of art is not to express emotion, but to give rise to emotion in others. On the other hand, there are those who argue that the real purpose of art is to act as a medium of expression for the artist, one that allows he or she to graphically por ...

  • Defining Meanings From Abstract Paintings
    By: Jeff | - Defining Abstract Paintings
    Abstract paintings are like a musical composition. Like musical notes, figures, textures, and colors on a canvas combine and swirl, build and wane. They may appear to the untrained observer to be just a random assembly, but like a composed tune, there are, in fact, rules that govern (or at least inform) how those shapes and colors are used for the desired effect. Whether abstractions are actually valuable contributions to the world, or merely a mishmash of nonse ...

  • Create Your Own Abstract Painting
    By: Jeff | - Of all the art styles available to try, probably the easiest one to tackle is abstract art. I am not an artistic person, and if I tried to draw or paint an apple, you probably wouldn't know what it was without a couple of guesses. I am sure with some lessons I could learn to do better, but it sounds like a frustrating experience. However, creating your own abstract painting can be fun for even the non-artist.

  • Appreciating Abstract Art Paintings
    By: Jeff | - I am not an artist, art history major, nor was I raised around art and been an art buff all my life. But, I have been learning a lot more about art lately, and my ability to appreciate abstract art paintings has increased over the past few months. As many lay people who do not know much about art, I would look at a Jackson Pollock piece and say, "my kid could paint that!". But in my heart I knew that was not true, and silently I liked and admired his work.

  • A Brief History Of The Development Of Abstract Painting
    By: Jeff | - I heard a story once that abstract painting was started by accident. The story goes that Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian artist at the turn of the 20th century, walked into his studio one day at twilight and saw a painting he was working on in a new perspective. The lighting at this time of day, combined with his angle of approach, made his painting appear as an arrangement of colorful patches that he thought was striking and beautiful. This made him realize that color alone could evoke emotions, t ...

  • Abstract Paintings Help Transcend The Limits Of Normal Language
    By: Jeff | - Abstract paintings are compelling. Many people find that whether they love or hate them, they cannot help but be drawn to them, to engage with them, and to have to contend emotionally with them. An abstraction is a unique concept. It sort of tinkers with our brains, spirits, and emotions in fundamental ways. It takes our minds and pulls, twists, and prods at them in subtle ways that sometimes have surprisingly not-so-subtle results. It is not uncommon for an observer of a certain art piece to li ...

But a little knowledge can go a long way to giving people greater appreciation and enjoyment of art. One way to gain knowledge is to better understand the different types of art symbolism.

  • Learning To Appreciate Modern Abstract Art
    By: Jeff | - Modern abstract art holds a special place in the hearts and minds of many people. To the uninitiated, it appears like any second grader could do what, in fact, only a real artist can master. There is a tendency for some to understate the real insight and technical skill that is required by an abstract artist. I once overheard someone in a gallery comment on a piece they were looking at, that they couldn't believe how stupid it was that people would "put out good money for a piece of crap like th ...

  • Philosophy And Modern Art Painting
    By: Jeff | - Philosophy and modern art painting have some interesting similarities and differences. Before going on, it might be appropriate to ask: when is a modern art painting considered modern? It is generally accepted that modern art was produced during the approximate period between about the 1860's and the 1970's. Work since then is often referred to as contemporary art, and they are definitely not the same. Of particular interest to many is the way that modern art and philosophy share common goals, b ...

  • What Is Original Art?
    By: Jeff | -
    You can walk into most any mall and find a poster or print shop, and in that shop you can find prints from world famous artists. Anyone can own a Monet, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, or, if you like modern abstract art, you can even find a small version of a Jackson Pollock. The funny thing is, that with the cost of framing, even a print can run you a couple of hundred dollars. But, do you know what is even more satisfying than owning a print reproduction of a famous piece of art? Owning a piece o ...

The individual gallery spaces themselves are the perfect complement for all of these works, with plenty of room to view the works and no distractions. There are also many quite small and secluded areas where you can get the feeling of being at a private showing.

    By: lauriefranklin | - Pictures say a thousand words. Then what would an abstract art say? But natural, abstract art would speak a zillion words!!

    Any form of abstract art, being it craft or paintings, utilizes a visual dialect to communicate. They enclose a variety of hues and form to give birth to a masterpiece that exists with some extent of freedom from the illustrative references of the world. It began with the term abstract expressionism, which was an American art movement, ignitioned post wor ...

  • Colour In Visual Art
    By: M Symonds | - Throughout history, humans have associated colour with their experiences, their joys, hopes, pleasures and sadness. And many artists use colour to express themselves more forcefully than the image alone can do. They might express hope by a light yellow against a dark background or lovers' passion by the radiance of the sun. But whilst a visual artist needs to study colour theory and the use of colour as a means of expression, for the viewer, a formal understanding of colour does nothing to enhan ...

  • Is It Necessary To Know The Artist's Inspiration To Appreciate An Artwork?
    By: M Symonds | - In many artworks the message that the artist is trying to communicate is obvious even to the uninformed viewer. Take the work of the two artists Georgia O'Keeffe and Jo Bunce. Their approach to painting flowers needs no explanation "" they simply wish to portray the beauty of the flowers they paint.

    But in many other works the viewer can appreciate the skill of the artist, find the image evocative or disturbing but may not really know what message the artist is trying to convey. ...

Probably a lot. They see this beautiful looking abstract art, take them home and suddenly find out that it doesnt go well with anything that they have. It is simply because abstract art is not something that you can simply buy in the art gallery, hang in your wall, and have it immediately work in harmony with your room. Caref ...

  • A Short Look At Modern Art Movements Of The 20th Century
    By: Art Gib | - When those with just a passing familiarity with art think of the great artists, they will usually come up with names like Rembrandt, Monet, Van Gogh, or perhaps Toulouse-Lautrec. All of these artists, however, pre-dated the 20th century and although a few of the most famous impressionists could be considered modern, their styles really were very different from those that came later. The modern art movements of the 20th century brought semi-abstract art and abstract designs to the forefront and t ...

    By: Art Gib | - When it comes to visual arts, the second half of the 19th century ushered in a whole new age of modern art that would change the way people thought of art forever.
    Prior to 1850, most experts would agree that artists strove to represent their world and the people in it as realistically as possible. This should come as no real surprise since photography was not in existence yet and people of all classes relied on artists to create accurate representations of their loved ones as well as ch ...

When choosing art for your home or office, you may be limiting yourself because you have not allowed yourself to learn to appreciate and understand a style that doesn't sit natur ...

    By: Alastair Harle | - What is common to Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Piet Mondrian and Mark Rothko? They are among the popular artists known for their different forms of abstract artworks. Abstract art is the art that uses colour and shape in a non-representational way. Unlike a painting of a flower or a basket of fruit, abstract artwork isn't necessarily supposed to "look" like anything specific. The goal of the abstract artist is to convey feelings and emotions - not to simply replicate his surroundings.

    Contemporary art can be defined variously as art produced at this present point in time or art produced since World War II.

  • Defining Abstract Art
    By: Lynne Taetzsch | - Copyright 2006 Lynne Taetzsch

    The term abstract art is like the term modern music in the sense that it is a very broad umbrella sheltering a wide variety of art. But like abstract math, the general sense of the term is that it is the opposite of the concrete, or realism. At one end of the continuum is a painting of a violin so perfectly rendered that we feel we could reach into the frame, pick up the instrument, and play it. At the other end is a canvas ...

  • Mystical Abstract Art
    By: Tim Seaward | - When attempts have been made to describe a work of abstract art many people have used words like "feelings", "emotions", and "soul". I think these words are clues to what is actually happening within both the viewer and the artist.

    The world of art and the environment of the mystical go back a long way together with many facets in common with one another - one being that they both seek to look into a deep unknown - and then seek to manifest it into this physical world by one means ...

    By: Lynne Taetzsch | - Copyright 2006 Lynne Taetzsch

    Do you want to create abstract art, but feel that you don't know where to begin? Here are some ideas to get you started:

    Begin traditionally by copying from life and gradually move into abstraction. When I was young, I drew and painted portraits, still lifes, and landscapes. Sometimes I copied from a photograph or a reproduction of someone else's art. The goal at that time was to represent what I saw as closely as possible. It wasn ...

    If you have an anarchistic attitude within you then abstract art is for you. You will never run out of ideas - in fact even if you had NO ideas then your temperament alone would find a most fundermental mood swing or dark (and maybe on more rarer occasions - light) moment to enrap you within it ...

What appears to be the most important decision to make is a very careful consideration of the specific audience in conjunction with the choosing of the appropriate artwork. This is not something to be taken lightly or quickly. This can cover anybody ...

  • Abstract Art And The Spirit 1
    By: Tim Seaward | - It has been a long and raging arguement that the abstract expressionists of the 50's, 60's and 70's were very busy contemplating their own navels and trying to find the "zen" in everything they did.

    I would argue that they were in fact just one very important example of the hungry sleep-drugged soul seeking a way to be heard. However, many artsists of those times, and indeed today, would flatly deny anything remotely to do with spiritual things - or worse still - religious things ...

    Here is the first realization - and question to ask yourself - why exactly is this piece you are looking at "not quite right"? The answer can be manifold:
