Summary
As the world becomes increasingly filled with horror and bleakness, the role of art begins to shift towards abstraction. This quote suggests that artists may turn to abstract forms of expression as a means to escape, challenge, or reflect upon the grim realities of the world we live in. By leaving behind concrete and recognizable imagery, abstract art offers a way to navigate complex emotions, transcend the limitations of the tangible, and provide a space for creative exploration and interpretation amidst an increasingly troubling and macabre reality.
