  • 'Southern Abstraction' Is a Compelling View of a Provocative Art Form (Gallery)
    'Southern Abstraction' is a compelling view of a provocative art form (gallery) Published: Friday, June 01, 2012, 1:00 PM Thomas B. Harrison, Press-Register By MOBILE, Alabama — Abstract art “should be enjoyed just as music is enjoyed,” said Jackson Pollock. “After a while you may like it or you may not.” Is abstract art something mere mortals are not meant to understand, or is it a form of “visual language” that touches us in subtle yet meaningful ways? Jim Baker of Huntsville, left, and Bobba Turley of Mobile view works by Take a casual stroll around the galleries at Herb Jackson featured in Today's Visual Language: Southern Abstraction at Mobile Museum of Art. (Press-Register/Mike Kittrell) Mobile Museum of Art and study the artwork in “Today’s Visual Language: Southern Abstraction, A Fresh Look.” The exhibit, on view through Sept. 16, is a profusion of odd and eye-catching forms, colors and textures. The vibrancy of this show suggests the electricity of a “live” performance, an ongoing conversation between artist and viewer — and an art form that continues to evolve and re-invent itself. Many people regard “abstraction” as a fairly recent development, but its roots are much older. “Much of the art of earlier cultures — signs and marks on pottery, textiles and inscriptions and paintings on rock — were simple, geometric and linear forms (that) might have had a symbolic or decorative purpose,” according to the website Wikipedia. “It is at this level of visual meaning that abstract art communicates. One can enjoy the beauty of Chinese or Islamic calligraphy without being able to read it.” Like a great symphony, the artwork in “Southern Abstraction” is a compelling experience.
