Art History | Elaine De Kooning | Bullfight | Abstract Expressionism

[@charlotterichardson8708]

Thank you for sharing. This was the first abstract expressionist artist I fell in love with. I went to a museum and saw this painting and thought, this reminds me of a bullfight, I wonder what it’s called and was shocked to learn its title. Before that I largely disregarded abstract art due to its simplicity.

I love that! It's almost too easy to disregard abstract art (I know I certainly did at first). Years ago I was at the Moma complaining about a painting that looked like a blank wall and how stupid that was only to realize there was a sign explaining that the painting had been removed. It took me down a notch and I started paying more attention to what those signs had to say and just learning about each painting really opened me up to appreciating abstract art. And now here I am loving it so much I do this. Thanks so much for watching, it really means a lot to me :)
