The good: This piece can tell a story of its own with simply the use of the form, color and lines. There is no landscape, nor portraits involved, just simply colors coming together. The colors come together to sort of look like a wood-like figure running down the canvas. A very bright white is used in the mix of the piece, which is an eye catcher. Reds, browns, white, and black are used to create this piece. I believe the artist did a very nice job with using the black as a background, it allows the white stripe to stand out more along with the browns and red to mix together. I am not very familiar with abstract art in terms of “what the artist is trying to say”, however seeing that the piece is titled 1954, this may have been an impact in the artists life at one time, or the experience he had during this time period.

There is just something rather fascinating about abstract art in regards to other types of art. (ie: landscape/portrait). Anyone can have a different interpretation of the piece, which is why I find it much more exciting.

Again, the piece has a black background, allowing the other colors used to “jump” out at the viewer. Yellows, along with whites are used to create this piece running down the canvas. The structure of the piece with the different shapes so to speak of the colors running down the canvas is what caught my eye. If a nice bright eye catching yellow wasn’t used, perhaps I may have overlooked this piece.

This is the final piece that I saved for last, perhaps the best in my view. It sort of is a combination of the two above, which I enjoyed, combining the yellows along with the reds, and blacks. This piece changes, as the background is now yellow, as to where the others were black, including a mysterious black and red shape to the top corner. The black running down the canvas has a very interesting look to it, along with the different shades of yellow used in the background.
