For his appearance on the Museum of Modern Art and BBC web series [URL=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfYVzk0sNiGG8mvBWAXGnETXurUviXfkj][I]The Way I See It[/I][/URL], Steve Martin chose two obscure American abstract artists who perfectly illustrate the relationship between the theory and practice of abstraction.

Right, I forgot about him saying that – much agree.

STUDIOBONGODecember 18, 2019 at 2:32 am #919114Thank you very much for sharing the link.
Martin emphasizes a good/great work of art makes him want to spend time with it, from afar, mid-distance and up-close & personal. I like his perspective, probably because I agree with it.
With abstraction, there is discovery and upon subsequent glances, re-discovery.:heart: I find this is true whether I’m painting or appreciating.
