Abstract Art

Abstract
ab·stract art
noun
art that does not attempt to represent external, recognizable reality but seeks to achieve its 
effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures.

Abstract art also known as mixed media art, has been around since the start. 
Splashes of color and primitive linework can be seen in works by some of the 
best known museum artists and when the work is organic and clean, it can 
provoke thoughts and emotions in a similar way to realistic or impressionistic art.

A good example of a successful abstract artist is Jackson Pollock who died at an 
early age due to a car accident, his memorial was held at the Museum of Modern Art. 
For an artist, being rememberd at MOMA is as good as it gets.

Today we find that interior design is relying more and more on abstract or mixed 
media because the client does not have to worry about images that might influence 
or affect viewers in a negative way.

Colors are now being researched to find what affect they have on humans. Blue as 
an example is said to be an inhibitor to hunger or "good for dieting"

An example of a successful Los Angeles abstract painter is 
Clara Berta who holds regular events, shows and  has work in a well known Los Angeles Art gallery.

The nice thing about abstract, you can drip, throw or brush your way to success!
