Abstract art. Abstract art used to be controversial. On one hand, the artist stopped painting delicate figures, but attempted to adopt special techniques to give people different visual impacts. On the other hand, their works, including sculptures carved out of marble or fragile clay, were all with a specific aim of showing feelings.

Some conventional scholars who were allergic to abstract art said it was evidently ridiculous and neither art nor geometry. Their traditional art committee predicted it soon disappearing. But nowadays, abstract art has become part of the permanent possessions of contemporary civilization.

Galleries along the Madison Avenue give scores of superb exhibitions on typical abstract works, appealing to many who have a preference for abstract art. The shadow of Egypt, a cafe in this district, has become the home to those aggressive abstract artists.

Consequently, it is not a coincidence for you to meet one of these artists of great reputation in the flesh. They are asked for signatures and given bunches of fragrant flowers, plus they are given a great deal of praise by their faithful.
