troybowman: It’s interesting to me how early abstraction (in painting) began. — todayiwasinspired: James Abbot McNeill Whistler (1838 - 1903); Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket (1874). (via wikipedia) My favorite painting of all time. Tied with my favorite modern artist, Tauba Auerbach. But as the saying goes, today’s painters wouldn’t have existed without folks like Whistler, so I end up where I began: this is my favorite painting.
