About this business
Abstract painting is perhaps the most challenging art. You must be able to draw and have a fine sense of color and composition. You must also have genuine poetic feeling. "This last point is crucial." - Wassily Kandinsky
This is a perplexing period for all who witness art. When abstract art seems baffling, it becomes fascinating. You might not care about understanding what abstract art means by staring at paint slapped on the canvas as Jackson Pollock or Joan Mitchell might. The creativity is speaking. It's as if what you imagine being said fades into the background. You see and feel it resonate and touch you. Whether this is true about your closest friend or partner does not matter. That's what it's like to behold art. Your private relationship with art is what counts. It's intimate.
Abstract art allows me to conceptualize concepts or make the visible invisible.
For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.
