it also gets you riled up, much to the delight of the poster. :)

Wow, how low can one stoop just to provoke "the damn russkies"?....
Your question belongs to the arts group not the russian group, moron.
But to answer your question, even though Kandinsky is revered in USA
and considered the Father of modern American art, I personally find
him and Malevich way too simplistic.
The reason why they found such fame among Americans is the laziness of
American artists and their refusal to train in the art of classical
painting. But the "abstract painting" idea allowed mediocricies
without skill to become "artists". What is amazing is that much of
"abstract art" became highly prized in USA and later in the copycat
rest of the World.
But with the fall of the Iron Curtain, the World can once again see
what modern artists of skill and talent can do. I suggest that the
reader take a ticket to New York and go to the main art galleries
there. He will see amazing and skillful art works done by modern
artists.
However, I would caution you, "Livat B. Udokan", personally not to go
there because it will ruin your belief in American exclusivity: the
majority of prized modern works in America today are painted by modern
Russian artists. This is not due to any kind of genetic superiority
but simply to the cultural aspects. In Russia being an artist, even a
poor one, is considered highly respectable. Being a lover of high art
isn't considered to be "nurdish" and snobbish" but instead even the
"masses" aspire to htat. In art, skill is considered paramount. Thus,
artists don't shy away from decades of training. Thus, after the
abstract art mania has destroyed most of the classical art schooling
in Europe, Russia now has by far the largest schooling in traditional
artistic skills.

The one thing you got right is abstract painting does not require any
talent. If the artist makes a mistake, he simply tells people that was what
he was trying to paint.
In Russia, people paint because it's a way to try and make some money to
feed one's self. It's sort of like getting a job as a limo driver in the US.

I just hope my line doesn't break as I reel him in. Feels like a big one. If
I can just get it onto the boat and to market, some Japs are going to pay me
a bunch of money for this big fat sucker. Sushi tonight!

Better yet, one truly interested in modern art, should go to St.
Petersburg, arguably the today's capital of modern art.
There is a number of web sites showing works of modern Russian
artists, too.

No, getting a job as a limo driver in the US is like becoming a taxi
driver in Russia. Art pays off only to top 100 artists. But tens of
thousands continue working as artists and making a living driving
taxis.

I've got some bad news for you, Mark: the "Japs" ain't gonna pay you a
dime for your trolling. Nor will anybody else. You are just a kook who
wastes all his time flaming Usenet for free.
Go drive a limo! Make some money. Get out of your house!

I already am making money sitting right here. Much more than any limo
driver.
