Yeah, that "easy to hack" is why I was turned off of abstract art as a category. That there is a possibility of some artwork to have that kind of an underlying language is exciting to me :-)
- saganus 12y agoI'm no expert or even connoisseur of paintings or art in general, but one of my favorite artists is Wassily Kandinsky. To me it's abstract art, but I really think it won't be easy to reproduce something that looks like his work. I think maybe someone more knowledgeable could teach you to "see" the abstract art. It happens to me with Jazz for example. By itself I really don't get it, but if one of my music loving friends walks me through it, explaining why the song is like this and that, then it all takes on a different dimension and I even start to like it. Then my friend goes away and again Jazz sounds like a mess to me. So maybe go see some abstract art with a friend that knows about it and can explain it and it might surprise what you find aesthetic. Then again it might not, but I Believe there must be some value to abstract art.
- hosh 12y agoSure, though it would be fun to see the principles of how visual arts are deconstructed for myself. I have a guess that there are essential overlaps with the bits of Haskell and martial arts I know.
