Abstract Art
"In the very early 20th century Cubist Futurist
Abstract art is very appealing to me because it allows me to create paintings, collages, mask designs, and drawings based on how I view the world using a variety of techniques. There are many abstract artists whose work appeals to me. Among them are Sam Gilliam and Jackson Pollock.
For some viewers, abstract art can be difficult to interpret and sell. Despite this, the challenges that arise from creating abstract art, it still is popular and intense.

When art becomes genderless Whether we want to admit it or not, even now, in year 2012, there are still big gender biases in some fields of life. While it's generally understandable that men should do more heavy lifting than women and knitting fits a bit better for the women (even though I am aware even here there are many people who want to disagree), art is one of those things where our gender really should not play any significant role at all. And within the past decade things have started to change even on this front and even on the more conservative arenas such as Bukowskis - the top Nordic auction house.
