This made me wonder about abstract art… Maybe it leaves it to the viewer to decide what they see, rather than the more straightforward “smiling person = happy painting”?
True but that is also true with traditional art is it not? Is she smiling, is she not? Art is always up to interpretation. But I agree fully that abstract art actually requires you to actually think as an individual. Traditional art sort of guides you to a general idea but this art requires actual ideas to form on your own. I hadn’t thought about this much tbh.
Hope that makes sense and doesn’t seem confrontational I’ve had a few glasses of wine and tend to ramble in that state lol.
I can’t identify anything in the pictures, but I like the vibes. Would looks awesome as a mural on a restaurant wall or something.
Agreed. Every post they make somehow makes feel stuff. I could look at the Mona Lisa all day and just see a lady.
