NON-OBJECTIVE ART
While in New York, Jan and I visited the Guggenheim Museum. I found the third level most interesting because of the "Non-Objective" art. This was a new term for me. I have since concluded that most of "Abstract" art could be considered Non-objective. But inscriptions on the wall gave me a new perspective of this type of art. The artist Hilla Rebay, in 1927, talked Solomon Guggenheim into collecting Non-objective art, and this form of art became the nucleus of the museum. Artists, other than Rebay, having Non-objective works displayed, are Vasily Kandinski and Rudolph Bauer. I particularly liked this statement appearing on the wall. "Non-objective paintings as companions to our daily life will spread spirituality, pleasure, beauty and earthly forgetfulness." I have done much pondering over this statement. A good definition of Non-objective Art: "Art that is not representational, containing no recognizable figures or objects."
