Your most admired abstract painter (s).
Last week I asked readers to name their preferred(s) XXth century abstract painter(s).
The voting period ended April 30th. Given the continuous participation of people willing to collaborate, I postpone it until May the 31st. If you haven´t voted yet please add your preferences in the comment section at the end of this article. Thanks
THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS ARE….(see the table below)
So far there have been a total of 248 votes and 67 XXth century world abstract painters named. Votes have come from wordpress readers and bloggers, facebook fans, twitter and linkedin followers.

I would add, Robert Rauchenberg,Frank Stella,Louise Nevelson,Henry Moore,Helen Frankenthaler,Pablo Picasso,( I feel that he was the greatest XXcentury artist.) Braque,Brancussi,
Mondrian,Kandinsky.It is most difficult to choose ten great abstract artists from the .century,but is
an interesting discussion.

Hi Bernice, thanks a lot for collaborating. Rauchenberg art is very interesing to me. Very. About Picasso there has been alot of comments in various linkedin art groups about if he is or not an abstract painter. For this voting we will consider he is not.
Thks a lot again, and please help spread the word.

A huge number 1 vote for Antoni Tapies. He’s the reason I paint now. I was overwhelmed seeing his work in person, and decided to at least attempt to paint like he did. (RIP recently).
