Abstract

When reading about abstract art I remembered one artist in particular. Stuart Davis and this painting "Egg Beater No.1" from the Whitney Museum. I specifically remember this piece because when I saw it in person I stood there and tried to make sense or a connection to the title and it stumped me. Maybe it the fact that everything is messy and being torn or seems to be coming apart, like what an egg beater does to its victims. I guess that's the point of abstract art and this piece certainly is a good example of that.
