1/6 The Rules Of Abstraction With Matthew Collings

hilma af klint 100% just had schizophrenia

Brilliant! Too bad it ain't available as a DVD / Blu-Ray package, even if it's about 9 years old now. 😀👍

As long a you get paid its all good.

Futurists

Very much like the advent to Lee Krasner

A tremendous loss actually, the actual

Remember watching this many years ago. It's still the only other person I've been aware of with the identical spelling of my surname, apart from family of course. Greetings from Hertfordshire.

I disagree re af Klints "just diagrams". The specific and sophisticated choices of artistic elements makes her work just as much abstract art as Kandinsky's Rothko's or De Kooning's. The language or stimulus for the work is irrelevant, the work stands alone despite the creator's story.

Think too much

It is Experimental and Improvisation...
Hello from India 🇮🇳.

You're not an artist

yeah

دي تاني مرة أتفرج فيها على الوثائقي ده هو نفسه عبارة عن فن تجريدي

Abstract art which is nothing more than just abstract "art" is a lazy/less-gifted human's work, inspite of all the tedious manual work it may involve! And such people dare to work on such nonsense because the old masters are dead and therefore will not be able to criticize them!!

Bold statement to say that there is no such thing as "spirit". The "fact" is that everything we can see with our eyes, and even measure with all of humanity's instruments amounts to around 3% of existence. The remaining 97% is dark matter/energy. That's a pretty big question mark! In fact, NIH has logged millions of near-death accounts of the other side of the veil. A few accounts could be considered anecdotal evidence, but millions are data. Why are so many atheists and agnostics even more dogmatic and less scientific than fundamentalist nuts? Einstein said that "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."

the perfectly matched soundtracks 💋

Oh look at this forgotten collection! Let's sell it for millions.
Just like stocks the abstract art world is full of crap ponzi scams.

As an artist I cannot imagine having someone else pick out my colors...that's half the fun for me when envisioning/starting a new painting...as is sometimes me changing them as it goes along.

I always have to chuckle when I read or hear someone say there are no such things as "spirits" simply because they haven't experienced their existence. As if one person (or many for that matter) could really "know" what exists within the seemingly infinite realms of the universe from beginning to end within and without. What we can't "see" or "experience" is boundlessly more than what we can. Humanity knows next to nothing. I dare you MC to read "God Speaks" by Meher Baba. You might learn quite a bit more than what you think "is". Pry open the little box you live in MC, jump out and breathe! I do have to say I enjoyed the documentary though, seeing the art and the artists behind them.

He's a little rude dismissing the spirits. I personally discourage contacting spirits but i don't dismiss ones such claims.

We paint reality they photo fame

Klint also was a classically trained artist. The translation into spiritual beauty (balance, form, colour, light) to the beholding eye came from deep learning.

The klint paintings immediately made me think of what people talk about when they take psychedelics

So if you do abstract your delusional... That's what this video simply was...

having done aa for fifty years i dont see why anybody would waste their time trying to explain it....

what's the rule eventually? 😑 so tired with those kind of video.

The sub titles are incorrect, needs editing.

The subtitles are terrible.

you talk like you paint, full of bla bla bla . crap, its for fools how cant paint

After the invention of photography, many artists felt that they’d come to an impasse. Fundamental questions changed, from how well a painter reflected nature to “what now?” and “how do we stay relevant?” New ways of looking at art emerged from existential crisis, changing how we saw images, as a purely philosophical matter, as divorced or “abstracted” from nature. Soon Leo Stein, the brother of Gertrude Stein, who “discovered” Picasso, Braque, Matisse and others, began advising art speculators to “only buy art you hate.”

This is really interesting. Unfortunately the music is only a terrible noise pollution which prevents listening to what the the voice is saying. As for the ads in the middle, not acceptable. With regret, I have to give up this series.

This is sh....t

Spot the English. 💩

artist and graphic designer...STILL confused.

This all proves that anything can be rationalized, the over educated underachievers are excellent at it. It’s all just mental masterbation.

Lazy bit ch; feminism endgame

The captions were done by a bot. Look at the English caption just before the episode title appears, where the older artist says, “Hello Matthew....etc.” It’s complete nonsense. Later, we get horrendous background “music”, if yo7. An call it that, a Psychoesque threatening track combing the while of Formula 1 racing cars with the ominous hum of killer bees. Why? What sort of nincompoops are the BBC employing, and why doesn’t anyone do any quality control?

Outsider art or Art brut never uses hidden rules ?

Wot a bunch of bollocks this all is innit?

Abstract artists are the embodiment of free creative spirit. However, "amid complicated and potentially confusing works there are hidden rules", especially when you take your time to decode it. Thank you for such insightful video series. If you're interested in taking a closer look at the artworks of famous Early Abstract artists, we've created the entire video for you to appreciate the deep meaning behind each piece.

So much of what passes for abstract art often looks like wallpaper …

Abstract art is garbage created by artists who have no talent and who can not create real art. only the pretentious idiots at places like the tate think it is art.

Again that word’ soul’ can anyone show me a souls that this moderator is talking about?

I would like someone to point out a soul when they see it. So I know it has ‘ arrived’. This is just individual expression …calling itself ART.

LOL. OH THAT TAKES A LOT OF TALENT. AWASH WITH ALL THESE GAR BAGE ABSTRACT CRAP. 😆
I SAW THAT KIND OF JUNK WHEN WE HAD AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROJECT. THOSE ARE GOOD FOR CURTAIN OR TABLE CLOTH PATTERNS. LMFAO..

😆. COUPLED WITH AN INTENSE MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND. AND THE FOO KEN LOW IQ SICOPHANTS, AGOG WITH THEIR IMAGINED NONSENSE AND JUXTAPOSITIONS. 😆 🤣. GIVE US ALL A BREAK!!! THERE IS ANOTHER WORD FOR THIS JUNK...AND DANY DEVITO SAID IT BEST, GAAAR BAGE!! 😆 🤣
