Buy Abstract Art

abstract art question?

so im pretty good at land scapes, still lifes and traditional painting but i just bought this huge canvas and i really want to do something abstract so i can use any and every color and technique i want (i feel limited by traditional art) but when ever i have tried absract in the past it either ends up looking like a piece of bad traditional art or it looks like its missing something….how do i grasp the concept to make it look i dont know the word….just so it works i guess?

Proper inspiration seems to play an important role in most of the great abstract paintings. Kandinsky tried to ‘paint’ music. Mondrian was riffing on the traditional line vs. color arguments. Miro was working off of the ideals of surrealism. And Pollock had a grand vision of shared cultural mores he was trying to express.
So I think the great abstracts all try to represent something beyond just a painting.
Good luck with your work!

Discovering Art: A User’s Guide to the World of Collecting $7.78 Helps novice collectors become knowledgeable enough to buy works of art– Helps readers learn how to appreciate art, distinguish quality from junk, and eventually acquire enough knowledge and self-confidence to start their own collectionWhen Jeanne Frank was made director of a department store gallery in the 1960s, the self-taught art enthusiast was new to the art world — not to mention exhibiting and selling. This is the book that Frank wishes had been available when she started.According to Frank, beginners should start by viewing art in museums rather than in galleries, noting artists whose work appeals to them. Frank also explains museum space, how individual galleries within museums are arranged, and where to find answers to a newcomer’s most likely questions. She defines the difference between Modern and Contemporary art, as well as between Expressionism, Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism, explains the meanings of Abstract and Figurative art, and gives examples through the work of Kline, Miro, Kandinsky, van Gogh, Cezanne, Picasso, and de Kooning.Most of all, Frank’s philosophy empowers readers to trust their own judgment, and not assume that everything in a museum is great art simply because it’s in a museum. Taste in art — like all tastes — is personal; and it continues to change throughout our Fives based on repeated exposure and widening experience.Renowned art collector Gertrude Stein once remarked: When in a museum, walk slowly but keep walking . With discovering Art, Jeanne Frank guides the reader one step at a time. Strips away the mystique of the art world, and offers the newcomer everything he or she needs to know…. I recommend the book highly .– James Goodman, President, Art Dealers Association of America

Inside Culture $28.63 David Halle’s idea was simple but radical: to connect culture to everyday life by showing how people actually use the artifacts of culture – paintings, photographs, sculpture – in the most intimate of all settings: the home. In the first book of its kind, Halle gives a fascinating account of the uses and meaning of art for those who buy it and live with it. His study ranges from the affluent town houses on Manhattan’s Upper East Side and row houses in blue-collar Brooklyn to middle- and upper-middle class suburbs on Long Island, resulting in an unprecedented portrait of the meanings of art for its primary audience. Are there differences in artistic preferences between social classes or races or between urban and suburban homes? Similarities? How do choices in art works – and the way we display them – speak to our dreams, desires, pleasures, and fears? And what do they say about the real cultural boundaries between elite and popular, high and low? Halle examines landscapes, both priceless heirlooms and mass-produced sunsets; abstract paintings and prints; primitive sculpture; and the vibrantly colored portraits of religious art. He also discusses the gatherings of family photographs that fill every home. Inside Culture also explores the architecture and design of the houses, from the eclipse of the formal dining room to the landscape of urban backyards. Refusing easy generalizations about culture and class, Halle shows that art has a different set of meanings outside the rarefied air of museums and galleries. He challenges received opinion about the role of the audience in the history and reception of twentieth-century art to show that the experience of art isn’t always what artistsand critics say it is. With floor plans, drawings, and dozens of photographs, this lively book can be enjoyed on many levels. It describes for the first time the way a broad cross section of people live with art. It records for the first time the astonishing variety of artistic experienc
