Hi Anne,
I don’t get that piece of art either BUT the real reason I am writing is to say I am so glad you found my new blog…I have since put up another post but will be off for a week now while Dan and I go camping for a few days..
Ann
I didn’t “get” a lot of abstract art until I took a fine art class in college last year. As part of the class, we had to create a piece of art (and a photograph wasn’t allowed). I discovered that it was easier to create a piece of abstract art than to actually paint or draw something that looked realistic. I ended up doing a piece that looked like a bunch of blocks with a couple of triangles, but I was able to interpret what I was trying to express to the class, and got an “A”. I’ll leave art (abstract or otherwise) to talented artists!
I’m with you Anne, I don’t get a lot of contemperary art either. I think that’s why I prefer the “old “‘ masters, at least I recognize what I’m looking at :).
