    No. Abstract art is not easy. But it's so rewarding when you finish a piece and you love it.

    I have had my trip to the museum spoiled many times by hearing someone say "I could paint that too".
    I always think "but you didn't".
    The difference between Pollack and some drunken guy splashing paint in his garage is huge.

  • @robertspies4695
    @robertspies4695 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    These are all good points, but the value of a painting is in how it resonates emotionally which does not seem to be addressed directly. Doing something new contributes to the emotional response to be fair.

  • @petemc5070
    @petemc5070 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Very clear analysis. Sometimes abstract work has to be seen in a gallery as it is weak in reproduction compared to figurative and surface finish is so important. I was stunned by Josef Albers' 'Homage to the Square: R-NW IV' painting in the Scottish National Gallery Of Modern Art (Modern One) last summer. The colour was intense in a way I'd never imagined a painting could be.

    • @contemporaryartissue
      @contemporaryartissue  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely, great example. Sometimes, if you see an abstract picture on a computer screen or on your phone, it looks easy to replicate. However, the quality of the selected materials and the way they are used can have a very subtle but tremendous difference. That's why most hobby abstract artists' their work look so "stock", a pre-prepared canvas and acrylic paint straight from the tube with no prior research or process in between picking it up from the art supply store and using it. With high-end abstract art, there is an entirely different sensation and presence of the artwork.

  • @wikidub

    Excellent video. Very well expressed. Most abstract art is formulaic and as you say "home decoration" - dull and worthy. Very few artists build up a practice of unique styles which do not ape the pioneers, or if they do pay homage at least bring it into a contemporary form. Surface, technique and media are important because they distinguish the work of an exceptional abstract painter from a hobby artist or that done by a computer programme. Reputable dealers and savvy buyers know what is true innovative abstract art and what is wall decoration for offices, care homes and living rooms.

    This was very encouraging as I have found my own style and it takes a long time to finish as it need many layers maybe, or it might need to hang on wall half finished till one sees what’s lacking. When u paint out of ur soul…. It takes time/patience

    “Easy” is such a complicated and laden word in art…kuddos to have taken on the subject, and well done as usual. I always tackle this with my students with the works of Cy Twombly: When Cy Twombly was making his doodles and mark paintings, which by any arguable way would be “easy” to make, few people understood that Cy Twombly tried his whole life to reconnect with what it means to paint like a little child: free from all convention, pressures, doubt, and righteousness about art. He of course could never succeed, as you are inevitably polluted by adulthood. But the point was that the ultimate artistic expression was that of an unburdened mind, a little child’s mind, and his scribbles and others were aiming to find and reconnect with this elusive and ephemeral moment in life. Abstract art, when it is created to translate ideas and concepts that cannot be figurative, should hopefully not preoccupy itself with whether it is/looks easy, and one can wish that the viewer is willing to make an effort as well and engage with the ideas. The balance for us artists that are abstract and/ or conceptual is to figure out how much we have to guide and help the viewers get past their first impression. And as you so pertinently point out , a helpful and simply written artist statement goes a long way to build the right kind of bridges, and that is definitely NOT easy 😅… thanks again for a great video

    • @contemporaryartissue
      @contemporaryartissue  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great comment; thank you for sharing this. You're absolutely right, and I also believe Twombly is a great example. Almost instantly, when seeing a work by Twombly, you feel there is more to it. Not easy indeed! Thank you for tuning in and wishing you all the best!

  • @marth9660
    @marth9660 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Another great video. It’s the “process” of abstraction that I find most challenging. Finding originality in mark-making, nuancing the application of paint, creating balance and impact with form and line, letting the paint speak with different viscosity etc etc. The elitism of the art world is an added pressure too because so many authentic and important voices are lost or excluded but I also don’t believe abstraction in painting can be successful unless the artist can actually skilfully draw and paint to begin with. This series of videos is great (and I love the dog as well as the presenter). ❤

    I would love to hear you expand upon why subcategories such as abstract pour art are immediately labeled with a lack of quality when they can still get high quality inputs.

    Occasionally someone will say "I could do that" referring to Pollack or another artist and I always challenge them to prove it. If you can do it, then do it. Show me the work. No one has ever accepted the challenge. Usually the person will avoid talking to me afterwards, which is fine.

      Yes, that is a very good point. In our definition of what makes an artwork contemporary, the intention is one of the four conditions and a pretext for art.

    • @cherylerome-beatty4677
      @cherylerome-beatty4677 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In this definition, i understand, that is saying that the "process" is the point of art (which is probably the main point: to create freely, joyfully and without fear) whereas this video discusses the "result", distinguishing the art from art making, and hobby art. One of my biggest evaluations of my own work is "does this look like something that anyone could have painted (i.e. on Instagram)?"

    it also depends on degree of success you're looking for. plenty of hobbyist, beginners and folks just messing around have sold paintings on instagram for a few hundred dollars and have turned it into a business. their art is meaningless, of course, but its definitly possible to make money doing the bare minimum (i'm sure you know this, it's just an interesting phenomenon)

    I'd be interested in hearing your take on the completely white canvas 'paintings' i've spotted in various high profile art galleries and museums. I'm not talking older art (say 60's-70s) but contemporary maybe around 5-10 years ago now. Almost the same kind of image. Just a white canvas with hardly any texture or paint applied. In some instances you have to work hard and look at the image strongly sideways to spot that anything was actually done to the raw canvas at all. I also wouldn't say that it was 'in company' of other paintings that made the white one make sense.
    I enjoy contemporary visual arts of all kinds including very abstract or challenging. But I have to say these recent 'white canvases' leave me cold. I feel like its been done already 50-70 years ago (sorry I don't know) and I can't see what value it brings doing it again today.

      First and foremost, the intention. Then, the originality versus the designated job and design they get from the house owners. Further, the personal technique when it comes to the execution, instead of a commonly known craft.

    I think a lot of these criteria are missing the point. Like skill/mastery of materials. That’s not it. It’s intent or deliberateness in a very expansive sense (to include less conscious inspiration). You wouldn’t call it precise or predictable, but decisions dictated by a strong will or intent creates meaning that feels precise even out of otherwise messy looking results or unskilled use of materials. This is extremely common among early abstract + expressionists when the will was more the point. Less so for abstraction born of conceptual starting place. But sometimes the juxtaposition of deliberate and haphazard is very much the point.

    • @Peter-JohnTaylor
      @Peter-JohnTaylor ปีที่แล้ว

      Well said and fundamental to any useful critique of any art style: What is the "intent or deliberateness" of the work? How is it distinguished from decor or experimentation for the sake of it? 'Abstract' is far too broad a term particularly when any form of art is a form of self-expression (emphasis on 'self') meaning the artist is conveying some concept, some intellectual realism of thought or opinion or perception or emotion, the painting being the expressed representation thereof. This is why many people view as false dichotomy the alleged distinction between figurative (or representational) and non-figurative (or non-representational) art. If non-representational painting is actually possible, then it's also non-rational art, which is not art. No?

    • @iridescentsquids
      @iridescentsquids ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Peter-JohnTaylor not sure. I think there’s “abstract” but still form. And form can have a hefty range of rational/non-rational without representation. I’m wary of generalizations but seems to me that “deliberate” can include the form found but not premeditated through experimental process. I’m hard pressed to think of experimentation in art that isn’t still judged by whatever form still results. Thinking for instance of the wildest gobs and streaks in a de Kooning painting that I wouldn’t say were rationally or deliberately applied just so, but through whatever editing and absorbed control still convey and communicate with clarity and cohesion. It’s “experimental” and not rational but it still has a very strong form. Part of what’s meaningful is precisely that mysterious juxtaposition somehow eked out in a moment that couldn’t be replicated.

    • @Peter-JohnTaylor
      @Peter-JohnTaylor ปีที่แล้ว

      @@iridescentsquids Not sure either, no stable hypothesis yet, but I concur that abstract style painting may genuinely include or suggest discernible form - occasioned by the physical and mental process - and in some cases, a result dependent upon the viewer’s cognition. Either way it seems to me we’re in broad agreement as far as a painter’s capability to produce work that presents their consciously or subliminally influenced intentions on canvas or screen. But aren’t we then taking the painter’s perspective mostly?
      From the challenged audience perspective, there’s what I call the “too broad” label (or license) of ‘abstract art’ requiring folks to appreciate the effort and to discern or speculate what is the intention rather than see it depicted by way of stylised representation: Abstract art may genuinely utilise the most basic elements (line, shape, hue, value, arrangement, etc.) while yet suggesting the forms and their interactions which occupy the minds of both artist and audience.
      Otherwise where or what is the communication?

    • @iridescentsquids
      @iridescentsquids ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Peter-JohnTaylor is the question whether there can be universal form/order to abstract art that communicates? And whether representation grounds communication as common ground with audience(universal where abstract art isn’t)? I may be an exception here, but in my experience representation is just another contextual factor we (audience) use. It can sometimes act as a slow ramping of the “work” of engaging with art but it’s my opinion that it’s not inherently easier or more universal. I might say…not sure…that representational art more often accommodates the sentiment of shared objectivity (we and the artist looking at something together, while sharing their interpretation). This is not always the case but a safe generalization. But I would say that people often make too much of this. Because it’s easier than delving into what I would call a more purely phenomenological language: seeing and translating what is seen in the moment. The act of representing-turning momentary observation into a representation- involves engagement with the formal aspects of painting that fuels a huge amount of what we think of in the history of art, much of modernism and even abstraction. I would say it’s a huge part of even Mondrian and all of the abstract expressionists. If I’m right about that, representation might be considered almost a distraction in that it creates the impression of a formal logic/grappling with meaning-making, regardless of whether it does a thorough job of that. In some cases it pretends or takes the easy route to being meaningful, because we can recognize what is represented. So In a sense you could argue it gets in the way, and I think that’s the reason some abandoned it. Nobody is the final judge…but I think it’s possible to say that the act of trying to making “good” representational painting, if we can agree it’s not best described as being technically accurate, involves a formal clarity that’s not so different from abstraction. Even though the processes are very different. If that’s true then representation may sometimes obscure whether the painting is any good by simply relying on the act of recognition. Just like abstraction may obscure it by presuming to “do abstraction”. Reminds me of the way critics in Turner’s time would debate the merits of a painting based on how well it captured nature/light, and Ruskin started delving into the idea that our interaction with nature was as much in our minds, which explains Turners deliberate departures from technician “objective” representation, replacing it with experience or a phenomenological take. In this sense romanticism also, I believe, gets misunderstood by post-romantic art history as about “feelings” when it was often a reaction to cultural, philosophical and scientific shifts away from prior notions of unchanging objectivity: it was a new science, not an abandonment to “feelings”. A lot of time when I hear people say there was a shift in modern art to the inner feelings of the artist I want to object. It’s the attempted objective consideration of the fact of subjectivity, which we don’t have good words for but it’s definitely more than “feelings”. Emotionally and intellectually this was a huge challenge not just to artists but to scientists and philosophers, too.

    I fundamentally disagree with your statements in '6. Hobby Art'. Just because a specific medium or technique (such as pour painting or modeling paste) is already being utilized by others doesn't make it inherently bad. That's akin to saying no new painting can be good because the artist used acrylic paint, or oil paint, and SSSOOOOO many people are using those mediums. Additionally, to make the assertion that no other techniques are used when using those techniques is rather ignorant of the world of possibilities that exist within each of those areas. It isn't the method or the equipment used that make a piece of art good, but rather what the artist does with them. Just because you value complete originality, does not make you the ordained judge and jury of complete segments of art.

    If you want to become an abstract artist, you either need to come up with an idea that the art world hasn't seen yet, or become an arrogant personality the art world can't live without. Abstraction peaked in the 1950s and anything you can think of has been done already. Your art will be called pastiche. Selling art now is really selling yourself. It's not about your work, it is about you. Julian Schnabel didn't invent anything new. The art world bought his incredible arrogance, not his work. The contemporary art world buys you, not your work.
