Why was there so little fantasy or abstract art before the 20th Century? Hi, I was just wondering if someone could tell me why it took so long for Western artists to move away from trying to realistically depict the world, and to move onto more fantastic or abstract art such as we saw in the 20th Century. I realise there was a small degree of fantasy-like art before this, such as mythological depictions, and surreal works by painters like Heironymous Bosch, but I don't understand why there wasn't much more of this throughout the ages.

How do I understand abstract art? I have a fascination with abstract art, mostly because I don't understand it; I don't understand where it comes from, or how it becomes catalyzed. It's not just surreal paintings or sculpture, but also obscure music, photography, avant-garde ways of life, or eccentric people. It's paradoxical because the less I understand it, the more I enjoy it, but at the same time the fact that I don't understand it leaves my mind running wild with thought. Do I rely solely on interpretation? For example... how should I interpret abstract expressionism?

Want To See Why I Love And Do Abstract Art? As some of you might already know I can paint realistic and surrealistic paintings (and do so often enough) and portraits. But over the years I've heard the cliche many times over that artists paint abstract art because they don't have the real talent to do real art. That's not always the case, my friends. I work in abstract art also because it allows for a whole universe, a mental landscape, of expression that realism and neo-realism often enough does not allow. Want to see what I mean here? It frees the creative soul and, when it comes out right, it's fun! http://pics.livejournal.com/unmired/pic/0003w0fc/g16 (As always you can click on the image to enlarge it.) Why do you paint abstract art?

What am I missing about abstract art?

Why does abstract art sell for as much as figurative art? This has always puzzled me. Why does abstract art sell for as much as, or more than, figurative art? Whenever I go into an art gallery or art auction I'm always blown away by the price tag put on the abstract art there. Much of the work is very simple, so much so that someone just starting out with art could have created it. As an illustrator I've had to spend literally thousands of hours practicing to get my skills where they are today. I find it disheartening to see abstract pieces selling for as much (or more) than pieces which obviously have years of effort and dedication behind them. I feel it cheapens the artist's efforts to consider their work as equal. Is that wrong? Why is abstract art not cheaper?
