Vincent was browsing the web and asked a provoking question: Is abstract/non-objective art passe'? Has that form of pictorial imagery already been explored to the point where there is nothing more to say?
Hmmmm. I replied with another question: Has realism been fully explored? If so, why has neo-realism and its variations remained attractive to contemporary curators? Hasn't realism in one form or another been considered valid for several thousand years?
Abstract Fine Art has only existed for 100 years; which is roughly 3 or 4 generations. How could it possibly be exhausted as a viable language? We have only begun to explore the depths of abstract imagery and its effectiveness as a form to express the human condition.
