1. Abstract art, more than any other style of art that preceded it, seems very personal to the artist who created it. Do people appreciate the art because they understand the artist's intentions, or is art only what we viewers make of it? When you look at many of the featured paintings in "Abstract Expressionism," what do you really see and do you think you understand the artist's intentions? Does the value of art depreciate when it becomes inaccessible to the general public, or is it the opposite?
2. Duchamp isn't really an artist in a traditional sense that he uses skills of the hand to paint on the canvas. After all, it seems like all he really had to do was experiment with putting different objects together. But he is an artist in a sense that he started a revolutionary movement in art. So does that make Duchamp an artist, or a thinker?
