Abstract art is not the creation of another reality but the true vision of reality Picture Quote #1

I don’t do abstract art because I don’t find it as interesting as I do subjects and depictions Picture Quote #1

Abstract art is only painting. And what’s so dramatic about that? There is no abstract art. One must always begin with something. Afterwards one can remove all semblance of reality; there is no longer any danger as the idea of the object has left an indelible imprint Picture Quote #1
