Jackson Pollock described abstract art as “energy and motion made visible.” He described how the art form set free a part of his psyche that previously had no voice. Artists were no longer expected to faithfully represent what they saw in the world around them. Instead, abstract art gave them licence to create art by prioritising instinct or the unconscious.
Have fun!
Good one Angie - I'm looking forward to this challenge.
ReplyDeleteLikewise - always enjoy the challenge of finding floor sweepings that seem to fit together. Always a fan of Schwitters so expect some of his influence to be foremost in this theme.
ReplyDeleteThanks both! Gotta rummage through the bin and pre-cut boxes and maybe whatever is laying about the worktable.
