Nov. 19, 2009 - PRLog -- Abstract paintings

Abstract paintings are works of art done by abstract art painters and artists. The abstract art form simply has only expressive effect. The abstract art work does not refer to realistic pictures of people or other objects.

There are art collectors and buyers who buy abstract paintings. They say they understand and love abstract art. But some people think that abstract paintings may have a specific meaning, which can be clearly understood, if only they knew how. There is an endless stream of people who "interpret" abstract paintings and abstract art, by guessing what they think the abstract artist is trying to say. This has led some people to conclude that abstract painting is just a sham.

True abstract art connoisseurs believe they should not try to "understand" abstract paintings in a way that most people feel they ought to be able to.

The abstract painting or art does not have a clear narrative, and it will not tell a clear story. But it does not mean that there is no meaning or subject to an abstract painting. Jackson Pollock, a famous abstract expressionist painter, said "I am the subject" when it comes to his abstract paintings.

The abstract painting tends to reflect the personality, memories and mood of the abstract artist. The colors used, the marks made, etc. on an abstract painting are there because the artist is who he or she really is.

Abstract painting is non-objective painting. Abstract artists prefer to see pure compositional factors in their abstract art and abstract paintings. Abstract paintings tend to transcend design concepts.

Abstract art forms and abstract paintings can be sometimes difficult to interpret even for the discerning eyes. Abstract paintings may or may not be much appealing to the visual sensation. Calligraphy is regarded as a type of abstract art. Abstract art and paintings are non-figurative and they consist of many colors, lines, textures, and forms. Some abstract art painters and abstract artists choose to project landscapes in their abstract art works. Other abstract artists use bold colors and dense structures to make abstract art works complex for the uninitiated.

Abstract expressionist paintings may have some common characteristics like the use of large canvases, emphasis on the canvas flatness and giving equal importance to the entire area of the canvas.

There are new and upcoming artists who produce mainly abstract paintings and abstract art forms. Abstract art may sometimes look like paint thrown over a canvas, but they do convey hidden meaning and have significance in the eyes of the beholder of art.
