Or was that Modern Abstract Art? Or was it something else entirely? Let me explain my confusion.
You see, "Modern Abstract Art" is sort of an umbrella term ... a very large umbrella term. Abstract Art is Modern by definition, and there are a number of movements that deal with abstraction. In fact, the brilliant Beth Gersh-Nesic, Contributing Writer for Modern Art, has written articles and definitions about most of them. Our cup runneth over with Abstract Art, even.
However! People aren't looking for these individual terms as much as they are looking for "Abstract Modern Art" or "Modern Abstract Art." So Beth (and did I mention that she is brilliant?) gathered up the various articles, definitions, reviews and image galleries we have that fall under the big umbrella and made everyone a handy Abstract Modern Art list.
Thanks a million, Beth--and here's hoping you just helped about a million people out with their individual web searches.
