All well and true but for me it boils down to skill and talent, abstract in my eyes provides very little of both but thats just my opinion. I can paint a squiggly line and some shapes and tell you it means anything but does it add to the fact that its just a bunch of squiggly lines with human input thrown in? Take a look at David for instance and shatter him and look at the pieces and you will still see beautiful representations of life, take apart abstract and you get colors and lines. Maybe it's the artficial feeling it gives me I dont know

Please dont ever compare me to a Beiber fan, you want to talk music we can talk music. Please stop calling me ignorant as well jsut becuase I DONT LIKE IT doesnt make me wrong. You can go on for years teaching and telling me about it and I will still just not like it plain and simple. There is no flaw in my logic as you keep trying to point out. Telling me to think outside the box while hammering me for not liking what you like is ignorant if you ask me.edit on 04/28/2011 by 4Starlight2Decay0 because: fff

Really? How so?
Pierre Brassau refers to a 1964 hoax perpetrated by Åke "Dacke" Axelsson, a journalist at the Swedish tabloid Göteborgs-Tidningen. Axelsson came up with the idea of exhibiting a series of paintings made by a primate, under the presumption that they were the work of a previously unknown French artist named "Pierre Brassau", in order to test whether critics could tell the difference between true avant-garde modern art and the work of a monkey.[1]
"Pierre Brassau" was in fact a four-year-old Common Chimpanzee named Peter from Sweden's Borås djurpark zoo. Axelsson had persuaded Peter's 17-year-old keeper to give the chimpanzee a brush and paint. After Peter had created several paintings, Axelsson chose the best four and arranged to have them exhibited at the Gallerie Christinae in Götenberg, Sweden.[1] Critics praised the works, with Rolf Anderberg of the morning Posten writing, "Brassau paints with powerful strokes, but also with clear determination. His brush strokes twist with furious fastidiousness. Pierre is an artist who performs with the delicacy of a ballet dancer." One critic, however, panned the work, suggesting that "Only an ape could have done this".[1]
After the hoax was revealed, Rolf Anderberg insisted that Peter/Pierre's work was "still the best painting in the exhibition." A private collector bought one of the works for US$90.[1]
Some of the biggest names in the art world have reportedly been fooled by a biography of a fake artist created by the author William Boyd and the rock star David Bowie.
Last week the glitterati of New York gathered for a launch party of Boyd's biography of the apparently rediscovered American painter Nat Tate. ......................................................................"Part of it was, we were very amused that people kept saying 'Yes, I've heard of him'. There is a willingness not to appear foolish. Critics are too proud for that."
Once you start to form your opinion, you look for additional pieces of information proving that you are making the right decision, despite the fact that many aspects of your decision are not based on fact. You may even find the nearest expert (or non-expert) and accept his or her opinion. That way you don’t have to bother with too many facts. In the advertising business, that’s called “word of mouth.” So how did the ‘expert’ you went to get his or her opinion? The same ‘unsane’ way you did!....................................................................People don’t want to hear that they made a bad choice. They want to be inspired by their association with one brand because it is cool, or thoughtful, or daring, or whatever.

Well to be truthful, your painting seems a little amaturish compared to the 4 year old abstactionist. But a good start! Keep at it you have potential........

BUT....almost all the children I know do the exact same thing.
If the little girl was painting portraits at that age...well, that I would call a prodigy!
