Art of the Abstract | 2007

`RockGirl1582:iconRockGirl1582: reports, December 28, 2007
Abstract
1387, from L. abstractus "drawn away," pp. of abstrahere, from ab(s)- "away" + trahere "draw" (see tract (1)). Meaning "withdrawn or separated from material objects or practical matters" is from 1557; specifically in ref. to the arts, it dates from 1915; abstract expressionism from 1952. Meaning "summary of a document" is from 1528. The verb is first recorded 1542.

This is only a glimpse of some of the fine paintings submitted to Abstract in 2007; an absolutely beautiful, grotesque, intriguing and thought-provoking gallery.

Win, etc.

I'd like to say that I've found lots of new work to add into my Favourites, but seeing as I've browsed through them all before I can't really do that. All the same, this is a good selection of excellent work, and I like the way that you've presented them with some contextual information.

I look forward to any future articles that tie into this one.
Hint, hint.
:iconbmessina:
wow,
overwhelming is to small a word!
thanks everyone here at DA.
:iconsbaraci:

So beautiful. I am a huge fan of abstractions. :heart:
:iconcatharinina:
Good choices. Thanks for sharing and for the feature itself :)
:iconibinsanity:
I question the abstractness of some of your choices :hmm: However, woohoo, anything that increases community awareness of abstract is good in my books!
