I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.  
Georgia O'Keeffe

The abstraction created by the nature

"Great art picks up where nature ends".

Marc Chagall    

     

            Typically, abstraction is used in the arts as a synonym for abstract art in general. Strictly speaking, it refers to art unconcerned with the literal depiction of things from the visible world. It can, however, refer to an object or image which has been distilled from the real world, or indeed, another work of art. Artwork that reshapes the natural world for expressive purposes is called abstract; that which derives from, but does not imitate a recognizable subject is called nonobjective abstraction. 

            If you look around at things and objects which surround us actually we will be surprised, how many there are abstract works of art created by the nature! For example, look at the sky! But if you want to see unbelievable picture you should use a special phototelescope =)) 

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built.
Rumi

Thoughts can create such a barrier that even if you are standing before a beautiful flower, you will not be able to see it. Your eyes are covered with layers of thought...

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. 
Henry Ward Beecher

Абстракционизм

«Искусство заключается в том, чтобы найти необыкновенное

в обыкновенном и обыкновенное в необыкновенном.»

Дени Дидро

 

   В начале, познакомившись с этим направлением, я отнеслась к нему очень холодно. Возможно даже слишком предвзято. Я абсолютно не понимала его. Ну как картину с черным прямоугольником и синим треугольником можно считать искусством?!   

К. Малевич

  

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth. 

Theodor Adorno
