The Worlds Greatest Art

With being assigned lines as a main content of point of view, I have gone through my books and came across the book American Art: The World's Greatest Art. Going through the pages because it had been some time since the last time I began to see lines that were being made.
Frank Stella, to the left, has shown he way of seeing some lines, but his goal was to 'eliminate spatial illusions.' By that he painted only on flat surfaces and was also pioneering the realm of Minimalism.



Looking at this painting, I first realized that it reminded me of the word balance or regularity by just seeing how the cables of the bridge are ascending into the air. Joseph Stella (to the left) does a very well portrayal of the gothic arches of the bridge which seem to be very balanced in the lighting effect.

(On the Right) When I was looking at Richard Diebenkorn's work, I could tell he worked in many layers. Even though we use black and white Diebenkorn introduces color in his abstract view of looking at the world. This piece is titled Ocean Park No. 27 made in 1970. He is mainly known for his Ocean Park series.

Burgoyne Diller's work really resymbles the work we are trying to produce. He is working with both vertial and hortizontal lines that interact with each other. The fact of bringing color into his piece just gives the viewer another way of interperting. He was by the way a member of the American Abstract Artists (AAA) group and became introduced to this painting by Mondrian's work.
