Buy at AllPosters.com Framed Mounted The process is essentially the same as traditional art, which rearranges also distills and intensifies, but a step further. Indeed, this kind of abstraction sometimes grows spontaneously from the pressure of the emotional need of more traditional artists. John Marin was generally not an abstract painter (and did not like the term), but he was taken close to abstraction in some images by the same process of purification of elemental forces, such as the Movement sea ??or mountain - As you wish. Georgia O'Keeffe wrote,
"From experience of one kind or another shapes and colors come to me very clearly. Sometimes I start in a very realistic and I'm going from a painting [to] the other of the same, it becomes simplified till it can be nothing but abstract, but to me c is my reason to paint it, I suppose. "In general, artists who were raised or long worked in the abstract tradition omit the intermediate steps such, although they can sketch directly from nature and even use photographs as William Kienbusch sometimes, for reference material . Often, their search is for the spirit of a place and time specific. "It is the sense of belonging that is important to me,"
Hyde said Solomon. "The nature of an environment unconsciously becomes part of what I think. And what comes out, mostly in the abstract, are aspects of a precise location." Stuart Davis Ursine Park, Loren Maclver evocation of the mysterious mountain landscape of Les Baux and vine Kienbusch meticulously labeled Red, Autumn Dogtown are also specific in their references.
But the species sought by the abstract artists of nature are more likely to be a general and universal, a synthesis of experience rather than a reflection of an individual experience. "Nature is the source continues to study for the analysis, interpretation for painters, but terrain is remote, timeless, nameless. Is this America? Who knows? Is our planet? Nobody will tell us, "complained Dorothy Adlow in the Christian Science Monitor (March 2, 1957). But this, of course, is precisely what these artists intend. David Smith Hudson River Landscape is, in his own words "a river." and a number of other things.
Titles of the abstract artist trend, as James Penney remarks at a waterfall rather than Niagara, the vast erosion rather than the Grand Canyon, and his own paintings are symbols of "a total experience rather than a transient. " Even if it were a specific place, the abstract artist rarely gives us the kind of split-second awareness of transitional aspects of impressionism, for example, provides, but more often than the sum of his character as he came to understand and feel its meaning through his life. "I want to paint nature from within, not as a spectator,"
Gabor Peterdi said and it is true that all reasonable efforts to abstraction involves a deep identification with the artist about it. "The best paintings I've ever done," writes John Heliker, "refer to the deepest feelings I had about a place - an experience - I find it difficult to define - but, for example I may be released. to the sea, as I did last summer in Maine I may have had a laptop with me and put a few lines - or I .. can not I rested on a rock, the sun had been hot, and I felt its warmth under me - and I remember overlooking the coastal hills beyond the bay It was a nice lazy hours, but was more than that - much more .. as it was, to a degree, an awareness of being -. identification with those around me kissing an important part of my past experience in nature, I went home and started to work without specific idea in mind, but what resulted linked to experience this afternoon. "
Similarly, Karl Knaths remark: "A kind of subjective world comes into existence in the mind even when looking at one particular scene, it becomes a focus of this environment, not necessarily limited to a specific moment of its appearance or of history .. It involved a great time. "The words have a familiar ring, recalling the concept of idealism (as opposed to realism) in the 19th century aesthetic theory, best expressed by the statement of Emerson that the function of the artist is to show us a more just the creation that we know. Edit "more just" creating a more loaded with meaning and doctrine would apply both to this group of abstract artist.
One of the meanings possibe "" In nature, abstract art is often assumed irterpret (eg, Gyorgy Kepes, the new landscape). is radically different concept of nature created by modern science - the world of the atom, space fourdimensional, the dissolution of the solid. In this theory, the artist provides equivalent intuitive forms and invisible forces of ultimate reality and does not only shape, but the unity to multiplicity disconcerting news. Philosophically, as a British scientist LL White suggests, the artist and the scientific theory are closely related in the sphere intuitive "latent conviction of unity, which is not itself in strict: sense rational or scientific, "but the result of an inexplicable" momentum "in the human brain that leads him to seek order in experience.
That is the theory. In reality, only a very small number of our artists, as I. Rice Pereira, were clearly agitated by the revolutionary concepts of science and have consciously interpreted with intuitive quasi-pictorial. The difficulty is that most of these mathematical concepts are intellectual or microscopic, they are beyond the scope of our sensory perceptions and our daily experience, even for understanding becomes increasingly difficult because of their complexity. So they remain largely outside the normal realm of artist activity, except they have filtered into the common consciousness. Lalter the process may have had a considerable effect on the processing of abstract shape, movement and space. John Ferren believes that the modern artist "fluid, often multidimensioned, but the concept of personal nature ... has only one possible referent historical, contemporary science." But the validity and scope of such a relationship is difficult to measure because it is largely unconscious. As Ferren adds. "At least I think this statement is potentially true, and contemporary art" worth "anything that can be, there must certainly be in his vision in the contemporary real world."
It is easier to show that for the majority of painters and sculptors, the "real world today" is still what they can see with their own eyes. Quality that they share a marked degree of visual excitement, exceptional sensitivity to nature's colors, shapes and changing modes of motion. In this they are like Gulley Jimson in Joyce Cary's The Horse's Mouth, which is among the few credible artists in fiction precisely because that of his constant and pungent world around him. "Sun in the Mist. Like an orange in a fried fish shop. All light below. At low tide, dusty water and a bar of twisted straw, chicken boxes, dirt and oil from the mud of the mud. As a viper swimming in skim milk. .. Thames mud turned into a bank of nine carat raw fire. "
A true artist, Jon Schueler wrote. "Once, on Block Island, I stood on the edge of a ravine, a deep cut in the cliffs rising above the south shore It was a gray day, the fog was blown from the sea, forming a mottled, moving veil between me and the opposite side of the ravine. I had just come out of the gray ... but here, near the sea, the light was stronger, and suddenly the opposite side of the ravine was colored green and the gray sky everywhere. For a moment its forms and shapes found there were static and well defined. But then I am bound in several ways to the motion.
The veil of mist blew through it, varies in texture and thickness, so that when I became aware of this, the static light disappeared, and movement uncomfortable took place. Depending on how I looked, Hill moved, or mist, or myself. Or, if I tried hard, I could do it all stop for a moment, only now the movement was even suggested by the very quality of the spotted veil of fog uneven. There was poetry here, there was visual poetry that goes well beyond my limited means of telling, and poetry were the truth and the meaning of nature. There were ideas of training, the emergence of light, certainty and uncertainty. The experience will live with me and, in one way or another, appears in my paintings. "
