and my favorite question:
Abstract art that doesn’t represent anything shouldn’t be considered art at
all.
man, i wish there was an option greater than STRONGLY AGREE
I would have checked that one twice.

Why, exactly, must art represent anything?
Dave!

Exactly? I feel, that art should be something that is admired by “the common”
man; and not be reproducible by the commoner. To me, art is something I would
not be able to do. I can not paint a Mona Lisa, or carve “The Thinker.” That is
art.
What I can do is cover my canvas with Gesso(tm), slop random paint on said
canvas, and mush it with a pallet knife. THAT! is not art.
In short, anything I can do should not be considered art. I hold these same
standards of “the masters” as well.
If you like “abstract” then thats fine. In no way am I trying to tell you (or
anyone) what to like or not like. All Im doing is expressing a view.
