As abstract as you can stomach
Cernunnos:

--- Quote from: 10101110 on 05 Dec 2006, 03:12 ---I also liked one of the characters in Chuck Palahniuk's novel "Diary;" she talks about how in her art classes, everyone was trying so hard to be abstract and post-modern that the only real way to 'rebel' against the standard expectations was to paint 'typical' still-lifes and the like.

ditto.
most non-objective abstract art, like minimalism, though i understand what the artist is going for, i don't like it. i never will. there's something completely different between a pollock and a canvas painted white. no matter how hard you try, if you tried to paint like pollock or rothko or kline, it wouldn't come out anywhere near the same, but anyone can paint a canvas white. there is no skill behind a canvas painted white. i want to appreciate art not only for its ideas, but its craft and its beauty because of it. there are other ways to show your appreciation for paint.

Here's the Jackson Pollack article, Cernunnos.
Cernunnos:
Thanks. I'm reading it now.

Cage's 4'33" is a great piece. It's easy to make four and a half minutes of silence, but it's hard to make that silence meaningful. So far, that's what it seems to be getting at with modern art.
I'll have to plow through these articles once the semester's done and finished...
