I very much enjoyed looking at these posts. Is it art for the sake of art?

I enjoy a good abstract, too.

I used to enjoy a fine wine. I don't need to know the history of the wine to be able to taste it and be satisfied. I should know the history to purchase it.

If a piece of art captures my mind and requires me to take a second look and then entices me to look deeper at it, I don't care what form or theory it comes from. It has me and I am caught. But that doesn't mean I'd buy it (like I could afford to).

My appreciation of this work says more about my sheltered life in my little world than it does about the artist. I can't bring myself to judge them at this time. Suffice to say I can't agree nor disagree, other points of view are valid.
