Abstract

"If you work with abstract painting for a period of time, you may come to think of it as a melody, a song, a piece of beautiful music."

- Judy Betts

"'Abstract' literally means to draw from or separate. In this sense every artist is abstract... a realistic or non-objective approach makes no difference. The result is what counts."

- Richard Diebenkorn

"Abstract art isn't simply a lack of realism. It's rather a heightened depiction of what the subject really is."

"The goal of abstract art is to communicate the intangible, that which eludes the photograph and normal seeing."

- Curtis Verdun

"Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?"

- Pablo Picasso
