All I’ll say as someone with legitimacy in this one particular area is that the reactionary swathe that comes around every few years re: modern art (a lot of what’s being referred to as abstraction is not, as such) is highly predictable and people who subscribe to it know nothing about the influence war and conflict had on those artists. I can talk about some big ones; Rothko made color fields meant to be respites from the horror of reality, made large so you could stand in front of them and “enter” the painting. Mondrian was trying to arrange the postwar world into less chaotic patterns with geometry. Malevich truly believed that representational, academic art could be completely overhauled so that art could be accessed by everyone; he was trying to bring about a revolutionary future. And Pollock and other abstract expressionists were recognized for their potential to advance chauvinistic American power abroad. Whether you like it or not modern art is a force. The slightest bit of curiosity could prove this to literally anybody, but you don’t actually care about art or what it tells us about its place and time or what it does for people. But go look at an Elaine de Kooning or a Vasiliy Kandinsky (a couple of actual abstractionists) - really stand and look at it for a few minutes, quiet things around you - and recognize what you feel when you see the brushstrokes. Don’t read about it, you don’t have to worry about the actual academics or context of it, just try to understand where the artist was coming from. I bet you’ll understand more than you think. Art is a communication, after all. Silo yourself in with the painter. Give yourself a chance.

Gret Palucca - Palucca was not just a madcap. She was a lover of logic, clarity and rigor. This endeared her to the artists associated with the Bauhaus, the art and design workshop established by the architect Walter Gropius. He and his colleagues believed that society could be changed for the better through good design and intelligent planning. And they considered Palucca a kindred spirit. One Bauhaus painter, Wassily Kandinsky, made a series of abstract drawings based on her dance movements. Another, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, proclaimed her "the most lucid of today's dancers," adding, "She is for us the newly found law of motion."

Tendința albastrului spre aprofundare este atât de mare încât devine intensă anume în tonalitățile închise.
Cu cât este mai închis albastrul, cu atât mai mult el cheamă spre infinit, ne trezește dorul de puritate și suprasensibil.
Cu cât albastrul este mai deschis, cu atât mai mult el este adus spre tăcere, până ce devine alb cu totul.
Azuriul (bleu), reprezentat muzical, este aidoma unui flaut; albastrul – aidoma violoncelului; devenind mai închis, el capătă forma solemnă a sunetelor joase de organ.
Albastrul foarte greu devine țipător; de fapt, el nu este capabil de o ascuțire țipătoare.

Milan Adamčiak was inspired by the drawings of Vasiliy Kandinsky, Georges Braqua and the experimental art of Manfred Mohr in creating his graphic scores. Some musical works also gave it to nearby artists and personalities who influenced him. Due to their precision and evocative nature, these scores also stand out as separate artworks without any dependence on the complementary musical component. . .
