His work was doo doo....

While I am against the commercialization of any art (be it classical or this kind), I have a huge appreciation for the AB EX movement and am highly influenced by it in my own art. The most important things here are the ideas. Going with huge scare as opposed to easel (contradicting the Burgeois and traditional use of the easel), exploiting new materials of the era (Post WW2) and getting away from the conventional. They're not just meaningless gestures.

@gymt40 If you don't laugh, you're dead. That pretty much sums it up.

una payasada, como se dice aqui en argentina , sinceramente, una falta de respeto , a los grandes artistas, ue pintan de verdad, y no acen ver en sus obras, lo que vemos naturalmente, que suerte que ienen si venden estos mamarrachos, diganme como se hace para vender los mios que tienen una imagen diferente a estas rediculeces

[gymt40]

ok i like those kind of art...

but overestimation and arrogance is what penetrates the art-world especially the art of abstraction

i don't like the fact that this or any other art form is commercialized... it is a joke that this guys made actually a living selling these kind of work... a joke.. a big joke

i think one should laugh visiting these museums and watching those paintings

Because this is what its all about:joy
