Painting and Understanding Abstract Art

by John Lowry

Overview

Presenting a practical method for painting abstracts, this examination also explains how to approach and understand abstract art. It moves the teaching of art from a doing level of painting a certain subject in a particular medium to a thinking level of What am I doing when I paint? and What am I trying to say in this painting? Using applicable exercises with explanatory text, John Lowry develops the thinking and doing processes together, leading the reader to a greater understanding and appreciation of this most exciting art genre.
