What those artists stated in the short segments of the video's was very powerful comments and profoundly true! I was amazed with the continuity in their thoughts as it contained the exact sameness I seek in my contributions to art history. Specifically Jazz music and<br />Fine Art, how I as a black abstractionist tell the stories from my perspective.<br />It has always been a oneness the way I've experienced Jazz and abstract art. In my mind its a purpose to which I'm bound to forge the language of understanding between Jazz and Abstraction. The visual as you see it, the audio as you hear it, but more importantly...to see, hear and feel the experience of the opposite disciplines engaged in the same journey of expression towards understanding. <br /><br />Thank you George for the fine work you contributed with your blog content of Black African American Abstractionists. There is so little attention given to this thirsty group, and I thoroughly appreciate the watering!<br />Don Griffinnoreply@blogger.com
