RE: Abstract Art - Is it Art?

in #art8 years ago (edited)

Abstract expressionist value expression over perfection, vitality over finish, fluctuation over repose, the unknown over the known, the veiled over the clear, the individual over society and the inner over the outer.

— William C. Seitz, American artist and Art historian.

Ok, here is my point of view. Don't mind the art movement. What it is important are the innovative reinventions, the breakthroughs in the way of conceive the art, so the value of a canvas is in its capacity to implement expression, vitality, fluctuation and in these processes break against the mainstream ideas of the working style: For me, It is not about expressionism but the artist and the process in wich he become -from unknow, veiled and individual- to something know, unveiled and mine as spectator. And that is why there are only one Pollock or Kooning, only one Hofmann or Gorky: Only one Kandinsky or Klee.

As Lyotard says: "The establishment, if only yesterday's , should be considered suspect. Which space does Cézanne mock? The impressionist one. What do Picasso and Braque? Object to Cézanne. What prejudice does Duchamp break in 1912? The prejudice that painting should be created, albeit Cubism. And Buren doubts the other prejudice, he believes to have emerged unscathed from Duchamp's work: the place where the work should be exhibited. A remarkable catalyst, the 'generations' strumbling over each other..."

Does this girl , Ailita Andre, respect the forms and style of abstract expressionism? Yes, for sure she is exceptional, she has the technique! Does she is an artist? I don't think so, she is a copycat.
