Some thoughts on the reflection on abstraction:
“to me there are some things which cannot be expressed with traditional ’symbols’ within the bounds of that which is ‘representational’ and these are the things that I find in the abstract, expressions that are boundless ” -Zo
"There is only one road to follow, that of analysis of the basic elements in order to arrive ultimately at an adequate graphic expression."
A quote from Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944)
"One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting is the attempt to substitute the inventions of the intellect for a pristine imaginative conception. The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design. The term 'life' as used in art is something not to be held in contempt, for it applies all of its existence, and the province of art is to react to it and not to shun it. Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again be great."
"I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on." Mark Rothko Quote - In a simlar principal my own interest is in the IEAT to be able to express the abstract of peple, practice, values and technology.
