Abstract painting in 2011

[iside]

Gentlemen, Friends

I have a problem following the plan, which I could not resolve without your help.

More and more immersed in the wilds of art, history, art, exhibition, communication with artists, etc. my horizons grow, grow my knowledge, new habits, new interests remain unchanged BUT my attitude to abstract paintings. Not to abstract, as the direction, namely, those paintings that are made now in 21 century. Can one say a new word in an abstract painting?.

In the Middle East region, for example, there are a lot of self taught abstract artists, and the main profession they all still quite far from any creativity that is whole life was a doctor, or teacher or engineer, but decided to become also an artist, decided whether they are thus "legitimize" their creativity, or find an additional source of income, or try on the prestigious title of the artist - I think there are only a little.

There is another type of abstract artists: housewives, especially those whose husband is on some steep position. There is another motivation - is sitting at home doing nothing, there is a creative impulse and the desire for fame, even if only in a circle of friends, and then just be a complement to a prominent husband is not very bright, and other knowledge and skills do not. Result: self taught abstract artist.

There is also a huge number of companies involved in interior design, and offers abstract art as an ideal option for home decorating walls. Price? Just depends on whether it is brought from China or made by a Hindu who works for an overnight stay and a cup of soup.

In connection with vyshepericheslennym my attitude towards abstract painting, producing now just as decorative panels, which each chooses 1 - the color of the furniture, 2 - or mood. Make it easy and relatively low-cost. Result: profit status and the artist.

Ie it is not even that I personally do not like abstract art, I see no prerequisites to take asbtraktnye picture taken now, a piece of art. In this case, I admit the thought that I could be wrong, I do not understand, etc. so I ask everyone to express their opinions.

If the forum has an abstract painter, I would very much like to read their thoughts on this subject and understand how they rank the other abstract artists.

Thank you
