## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Clear concise explanation of the historical development of abstract art and fun exercises for creating abstract art
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018*

There are so many exciting exercises to practice applying fundamental principles of abstract art and provide the basis from which one can overcome a creative block.  The original art of the author is gorgeous - especially his use of colors.  The section on color theory is presented differently from many other books and useful for developing a greater understanding of the interaction of pigment colors.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Just OK
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2012*

Many books I've read on understanding and painting Abstract art fall short on either the "how" to take a concept (you need to start somewhere, right?) and move it from the artists brain into a painting that successfully employs the elements of color, design, rhythm and repetition OR the author gets bogged down intellectualizing about color theory and ends up confusing the reader..While Lowry's book gives some good exercises on developing and painting abstract art, his approach to color theory is laborious and WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY to analytical for the average painter.  There are other, more practical approaches to color theory that don't over intellectualize the process (try Michael Wilcox and Stephen Quiller to name two) and get you moving paint around on the canvas quicker.  What might have made a good book, lost me completely when he loaded up with a complex series of 3-dimensional charts that were complicated and confusing trying to explain his approach to understanding color.  Overall the book was a disappointment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
