Art Talk #9 - Abstraction & Representation
Channel: Glenn Zucman
Date: 2013-05-01

The dance, or as Wayne Thiebaud calls it, "tightrope walk" between abstraction & representation. Turner & Manet. Kandinsky & those damn Monet Wheatstacks! Courbet vs Nam June Paik. Do we "represent" things like houses, trees, and people? Or explore a "non-objective," "not-about-objects" world of pure form. Kasmir Malevich and the discovery of the surface!
