I recently watched the ironic movie Jennifer Anniston starred in right after her and Brad Pitt split up called the "Break Up". I thought it was a neat movie with great humor and some drama...oh the tears.
But, what really kept me watching this chic-flick movie was the fact that there was art involved. Jennifer's character works for a gallery which is owned by a woman whom has ventured in life and knows all about life...according to the movie.
In the movie, there is a scene in which this gorgeous man walks into the gallery and Jennifer's character explains to this potential art collector about the aesthetics, line and composition on an abstract painting.
The man that is trying to buy art is new at the art collecting scene so of course, he feels as if Jennifer is from another planet as she is talking away about this art piece. Finally after all the conversation, the charming man says to Jennifer that he doesn't understand why he should buy art that either a child or he could even paint himself.
Jennifer surprised by the man's comment, pulls him away from the painting and does agree with him but, follows up to explain that if he wants to buy art it would have to really call out to him, it would be art that he would never get tired of looking at and that it would grow even more beautiful with the years that he owns the piece.
I thought, WOW...couldn't have explained it better myself.
However, not to put abstract art on a bad spot. Abstract art is unique in that the viewer can discover new and different views in any abstract painting or sculpture. It is though for folks that enjoy contemporary art rather than the traditional art. Like they say, "Different strokes for different folks." It is no different than your taste in shoes, purse, wallet etc.
If you want to showcase it and picture it in your PROUD collection...then buy it without hesitation.
Here is my art for the this blog...more traditional than abstract for sure.
I will be posting this watercolor painting for purchase in my online store.
