Synopsis
Joel Greene, who was raised in northern New Mexico, has been called one of the most elegant of abstractionists. His work includes landscapes, still lifes, and figures.Greene says he paints intuitively, but of all aspects of art he is most interested in drawing and organization--the architecture of a painting.In addition, though nature inspires him, his paintings come from memory and imagination, and many are idealized. Different types of paintings offer different kinds of artistic freedom. Still lifes offer the most freedom ("because it is easier to accept strange things in a still life") and figures, the least ("unless you are Picasso"). His landscapes are the softest, least angular of his work, and the work in which he can most glory in the way shapes, tones, lines, and color define space, form, movement. Greene's series of oil on p
Abstract Elements
Abstractionists play with the elements and principles of design to create art works that interpret the everyday world into the language of colour, form, line and texture. Art from this genre expresses abstract ideas that can include realistic, recognizable elements to complete abstraction of the inspiration for the piece. Scott Garant, Sann Sann Lam and Richard Manilla share their interpretations of the everyday world, playing along the continuum of abstraction in their show, Abstract Elements.

The work of contemporary 3D illustrators such as Tim Borgmann is really fascinating. It's like they have become the new abstractionists, while the referances to suprematism and data movements are evident.

Mark Rothko’s search to express profound emotion through painting culminated in his now-signature compositions of richly colored squares filling large canvases, evoking what he referred to as “the sublime.” One of the pioneers of Color Field Painting, Rothko’s abstract arrangements of shapes, ranging from the slightly surreal biomorphic ones in his early works to the dark squares and rectangles in later years, are intended to evoke the metaphysical through viewers’ communion with the canvas in a controlled setting. “I'm not an abstractionist,” he once said. “I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on.”

This painting seemed a harbinger of the abstractionist movement, just by blurring my eyes I see an Albert Bitran, a Frank Duminil or a Serge Poliakoff, when looking at the original, yet one hundred years before they painted, the man who inspired this died; life!
painted during the first days of August 2006, inspiré par Karl Daubigny (1846-1886), from a small picture in an old French art auction catalog, probably depicts a beach up near north western Bretagne, or Normandie?

"I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on."
People have lived in this area since the Neolithic period, but it has been continuously inhabited since the conquest by Roman legions, who established an outpost and took over the existing castros in the area. It developed into a military centre known for its baths. The Romans built defensive walls, spanned the river with a bridge, and exploited the local mines. The importance of the town led to it being elevated to the status of a city in 79 AD, during the reign of the first Flavian Caesar, which was also reflected in its name, Aquae Flaviae.
Rome's hegemony lasted until the 3rd century, when, successively, the Suebi and Visigoths as well as the Alani colonized the settlements of Chaves. The area surrendered to Islamic forces at around 714-716. The city was conquered by Alfonso I of Asturias in 773 and repopulated in 868 by Alfonso III of Asturias. Battles between Christian and Muslim forces then continued until the 11th century, when Alfonso V of León permanently reconquered Coimbra, establishing a firm buffer-zone to the south. He reconstructed, settled and encircled the settlement of Chaves with walls, in addition to establishing a Jewish quarter in the community. It was in the reign of Afonso I of Portugal that it was taken from León and firmly integrated into the Kingdom of Portugal domain (1160). Owing to its geographic location King Denis, ordered the construction of a castle to protect the kingdom's border.
The Portuguese artist Nadir Afonso was born in Chaves in 1920. Before devoting himself entirely to the geometric abstractionist art, he worked as an architect with Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer, among others.
His home town has dedicated a very modern museum to him.
