Did you appreciate abstract painting?

I'm not a artist but i love abstract, for me any people that appreciate abstract has a wide mind, because coward people do not understand or even try to understand a abstract image, they just think that it's a crap or junk that's because they are dumb and they do not use a wider mind to see the beauty inside it.

I like abstract painting is a complex arts, but if you are really a good painter. It's beauty lies on how you see or interprets it. This may sounds confusing to those who never understand the movements of lines, fluidity and combination of colors and mixing with the backgrounds. from a simple doodles, it could transforming into a great arts and could even mix with different coloring method by brush, watercolors, charcoals, paint, pencils or different sketches.

What comes to mind... it is interesting that a single abstract painting can suggest different ideas to different people. For instance, a single horizontal line on a blank page may depict an endless list of concepts... If " a picture suggests a thousand words", then perhaps an abstract painting suggests a thousand pictures :) Cheers

For me abstracts are worth more than realistic art. Heck, even photographers today take their'real life' photos into a digital paint program and fancy them up for a bit. when you look into an art piece that is an abstract and let you mind flow around within it's recesses, you can learn so much about yourself and your thought processes. I really like abstract art and think it eclipses realistic painting, and I say that with certainty and authority, as I can paint realistically, so I know what I speak of.
