If we continue to use outdated labels then we are a part of the problem. Example: I brought a couple of works to a museum last month; one metaphorical and the other non-representational. She was used to seeing my metaphorical work but was surprised ant the other. Her comment was “What a wonderful non-representational work”. I thanked her for the use of the term. BTW, I re-posted my comment on my new blog site in expanded form with illustrations. See it at lloydatlark.blogspot.com.

I agree with you that the word abstraction is very overused. But, what can we do about this? Thanks a lot for dedicating time to add your ideas and thoughts.

Antonio

It’s WAY overused. Initially it was understood – especially in the first quarter of the 20th century. Before that the impressionists were giddy about abstracting their subjects. And there in lies the point – to have an abstraction, you have to have something to abstract. Historians may disagree with me but the term abstract expressionism was seldom abstract – but expressionism describes it well. The term abstract clung to it as it gave it some grounding; in other words, people new what abstraction was but had difficulty intellectually making the transition away from something they knew and understood. Therefor the term became universally accepted. Picasso and Miro for example, were abstractionist as were Modigliani and early Kraser. Pollock is still my favorite and called an abstract expressionist – but what was he abstracting? Once we leave the word of representing what we see to what we are – we becom something else. You’ll hear a lot of this from me.
