“When
the Illusion is Lost, |
|
|
The
work of the artists dubbed "Abstract Illusionists" heroically dealt
with so many painting issues. Sometimes the beauty and lyrical
painterly qualities of their work is overshadowed (to the untrained
eye) as the observer unravels the visual complexities involved
in the abstract depiction of space. Dimension always exists in
abstraction, no matter how it may be concealed. It is the ironic
honesty of Abstract Illusionism that ranks it among the great "isms"
of twentieth century painting. Andrea
