Abstract Art

Abstract Art, what is it? 

I like this definition of abstract from the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English : existing as a quality or concept rather than as something real or solid.

In Abstract Art the artist is more concerned with presenting color, shape, form, texture, line, than in making an actual representation of the world around us.

In Abstract Art you subtract a lot of detail, and what you are left with is color, shape, form, texture, and line.

Here are two examples of Abstract Art that I found on my last trip to TX.

What makes these art pieces interesting?

Colors of the Week

The colors of the week are:
                                 Blue &
                                 Orange
And according to Chagall they are lovers. So much for color theory.
I only know that I love them together, so they were an obvious choice for my latest Barn Quilt, Don't Drink and Quilt.
A simple design that simply POPS with the combo of Blue & Orange.

"All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites."
