Q. How are abstract paintings defined as being 'abstract'? Whenever I paint something, people tell me it's abstract...so I'm just wondering...

A. "Abstract art is now generally understood to mean art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses colour and form in a non-representational way."

A. Abstract Art is random things drawn together that can be interpreted differently per person. It can be floating objects or random lines using your imagination. Realistic Art is drawing exactly what you see. It has be as accurate as possible with no random stuff. It takes longer to develop.

A. You are asking for personal opinion here so I'll give you mine. I think oils are the best paints for abstract or any other kinds of art work. Watercolour is just happy accident but sometimes unhappy and acrylics leave me cold.

Any good arguments on abstract art?
Q. I need to write a 7 page argument paper about something about abstract art. The only thing I could come up with was on if a painting of a square or a circle, ect. was considered abstract art. I couldn't find much to talk about with that subject, let alone enough to cover a whole 7 page paper. So, I need help coming up with sided issues on abstract art. Does anybody have suggestions? It could even be about a specific abstract artist or something... Thanks!

A. Kandinsky started the abstract movement and he was a brilliant artist. Google him and then go to Google Scholar and Google Images and you will find lots of information. Also, look at Jackson Pollock. Abstract art is a lot more difficult to do than you would think. Your argument could be that abstract art was an important step into Modern art. Your research on Kandinsky will tell why he did this and how his success was difficult in the beginning. Talk about where he was, who he was, where he exhibited, what did the critics of the day think, what did the public thing, did his art sell during his time, what has happened since then to make his work so valuable, how did his work change the art scene (influence). Then go to more modern… [cont.]

A. Personally I like Liquitex when painting with acrylic, it has a nice fluid feel and is great for abstract art. Always look for artist grade or professional paint, they have better pigment and less filler than the cheaper paints. I know art supplies are expensive but it is isn't Worth buying cheap supplies because the just don't work as well as the more expensive supplies. Instead I would spend money on quality and buy the essential colors needed to make every color. Alizeran crimson, cadmium yellow, lemon yellow, ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, rose madder, titanium white, burnt umber, yellow ochre, and there is and orange red that I just can't remember. But with these colors you should be able to mix any color you want, even black.… [cont.]

Why does abstract art sell for as much as figurative art?
Q. This has always puzzled me. Why does abstract art sell for as much as, or more than, figurative art? Whenever I go into an art gallery or art auction I'm always blown away by the price tag put on the abstract art there. Much of the work is very simple, so much so that someone just starting out with art could have created it. As an illustrator I've had to spend literally thousands of hours practicing to get my skills where they are today. I find it disheartening to see abstract pieces selling for as much (or more) than pieces which obviously have years of effort and dedication behind them. I feel it cheapens the artist's efforts to consider their work as equal. Is that wrong? Why is abstract art not cheaper?

A. Interesting question...I think part of the blame lies with the consumers of the art itself. Abstract art is seen as much more fashionable than figurative, more traditional style painting. So the yuppies are willing to pay much more! Even the Academies, traditionally a sort of Mecca for all aspiring artists, have become omewhat dated over the years. Also, just because there is obviously years of dedication behind some of these figurative works, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is little effort in abstract works - just that it is less obvious. I have to say, however, that some of the stuff nowadays is tripe, to put it politely. Many of the winners of the Turner Prize are so worthless it's unbelievable...

But one of my favorite artist is Mr.Brainwash who has some really great abstract piece on the streets of L.A. He also has a website.

A. Abstract art is the interpretation, distortion, simplification or altering of an object. Anything you can do to distort the image. Naturalism and abstract overlap. They are both interpretation of objects. Cezanne is a terrific modern artist considered by Picasso the father of modernism. He gives his objects geometric shapes. This is really important because his works starts the abstract movement. He dies and this style is picked by Picasso. Abstraction and non objective art are different. Abstraction is a representation of an object, in non objective there is no object is more metaphysical.

A. Make each panel a section of a half pipe (left side, middle, and right.) Now show all the moves that are being made in a trick. Do that multiple times. (multiple tricks) on top of each other. That effect should give you your abstract. Tricks themselves would be your story. Have fun with it. Make your art subject crash and burn at the end!
