I went to The Dia:Beacon, which is a contemporary Art Foundation. When it comes to art, Contemporary Art is my favorite. I like the fact that most of the work of at of this genre is abstract and playful. When I look at Contemporary Art, I feel like the artist is seeing in something very simple something very special and which could be the subject of a work of Art. When I go there I am always very touched by Artist Like Sol Lewitt, On Kawara, Dan Flavin and Richard Serra. Those Artist all use very simple chapes or ideas but create things that are visually spectacular to me.
Richard Serra
Sol Lewitt
`On Kawara
Dan Flavin
All of those artists use a certain geometry to construct their work of art, also they they tend to use very few colors or very slightly, which I tend to appreciate.
On the contrary It is harder for me to appreciate Something like Niki de Saint Phalle. Even thought I find it very impressive, the multiplicity of colors, the over use of fabric ; glitters, pearls. If i Had to say, what I really feel about this type of art is that I would love seing exhibition of them because of how impressive it is, but couldn’t consider it as something I esthetically appreciate.
Also, Salvador Dali Created Thing which Again I don’t Necessarily visually appreciate. As a viewer, I don’t really appreciate physical originality, and things that are not abstract. In Art I am more attracted to innovation or originality in the idea.
It is really Hard to me to say that I am repulsed by some works of art, because even thought I don’t like the physical aspect of something, it is always possible to have admiration for a technique, an idea, a genre, the emotion, impression it gives.
If I had to say a type of art that I hate, I wouldn’t be able to answer, I appreciate for different reasons any types of art. The only thing I can could say is / would I have it in my house or not, Do I like it Physically or not, but I cannot be entirely repulsed by a work of art.
