Response to Tammi

I just read Tammi's post on abstract art. In this post she expressed a frustration in not being able to find religion in a particular piece of art, continuing on to look at the physical properties of the painting and trying to connect them to religion. Looking for religion in the art itself is very interesting, but in after reading the articles I have approached the abstract art in a totally different way. For me it is not the physical painting where I see religion, but the context in which it was painted. Most of the people who are viewing this work have probably not read up before hand, but In a way the historical context behind the painting is a huge part of the art itself.
