The author says that hen Abstract Expressionism began to enter American consciousness, it was not uncommon for magazines to publish photo essays in which a painting would be juxtaposed with a piece of the real world to which it somehow seemed to correspond. Thus a painting by Franz Kline, using his characteristic black forms, starkly composed against a white background, might be placed alongside a photograph of some industrial scaffolding, shown silhouetted against a light sky. What is undeniable is that these essays showed that abstractions, not unlike the most scrupulously realistic works, can draw attention to features in the real world to which people might not otherwise have been sensitive. |
