Abstract art is fascinating

A is for Abstract Art

Abstract art uses visual language. Instead of words, it falls back on shape, form
lines and colours It is fascinating as it employs all four media forms to create a 
a composition that attracts immediate attention. This is made possible as they appeal
directly to the senses


                               

One may not readily understand the logic of having the forms together. Looking at 
them as a composite it is apparent there is a sense of being and of togetherness. There 
is a reason to be there at that particular presentation. Abstraction will invariably indicate
a departure from reality 

Artwork altering colour and form in ways that are seen and conspicuous,can be said 
to be partially abstract. Total abstraction will not make it easy to relate the forms to 
anything easily recognised. On the other hand, realistic art can also be expected to be 
partially abstract as well.

  4. Interesting topic for AtoZ! Abstract art isn't my favorite, but once in a while I see a piece I really like, and this would be one of them.

  5. Hank,

    Abstract artwork is something I honestly find challenging and definitely isn't my preference to do but occasionally it's fun to dabble in this art style a little especially when prompted.

    Thanks for visiting and checking out my Looney Tunes A-Z Art Sketch for day 1 of ACME Mail Order Catalog on Curious as a Cathy!
