Abstract Art Poem by RAJ NANDY

ABSTRACT ART

For those abstract modern art forms, -
I failed to develop any real taste!
They only remind me of a Psychiatrist’s
Rorschach’s random test!
It’s grotesque figures and oblique forms,
Make art look hideous and deformed!
It fails to generate any pleasure,
For the mind or the eyes by any measure!
You may interpret it in your own way,
Even the artist fails to explain, …….
What he really wanted to say!
They reflect the artist’s confused and
ambiguous mind,
Than any art form of a pleasurable kind!

(I do drawing & painting myself, and also read the History of Art!
These are my personal views, for I lament the loss of Realism in
today’s art!)
