Dominique De MenilBut nobody is visually naive any longer. We are cluttered with images, and only abstract art can bring us to the threshold of the divine.
About This Quote
The world is filled with images and we can’t help but be bombarded with them. Images are everywhere, and we’re not always able to see the truth behind them. Sometimes we can’t even see the distinction between what’s real and what’s not. While we can look at an image and tell what it represents, often times even those who created those images can’t always see that meaning behind them.
Abstract art is a way of bringing us to the threshold of the divine. We can take a look at an image and find meaning behind it without having to rely on what someone else sees in it.
