Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Abstracts

by

“There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.” ― Pablo Picasso

“Energy and motion made visible – memories arrested in space”
― Jackson Pollock

“But nobody is visually naive any longer. We are cluttered with images, and only abstract art can bring us to the threshold of the divine.”
― Dominique De Menil

I imagine the gift of abstract art is the nudge toward seeing things in a completely different way. Our attachment to “reality” is often a symptom of fear. When we are propelled away from the familiar, we have the opportunity for new discoveries, new wonders, new experiences of the divine creativity of the Universe. We risk being changed forever.

  4. Loving your thoughts on the last paragraph, Priscilla. Makes one think…as does the abstract in art. I especially like the distorted views from the mirror and the reflection in the building. Interesting abstracts for sure.
