Regarding Abstract Paintings

February 25, 2017

Last night we had the distinct pleasure of attending a lecture by Dr. Sue Taylor, PhD. The lecture was entitled, “The Language of Abstract Painting”. She delved into her current research viewing abstract works from a psychoanalytical perspective, and believe me, it was fascinating.

Abstract paintings can both illuminate and baffle, and viewing such works can be challenging. You may not always understand what you’re looking at, but strangely, you know right away how the piece makes you feel. Abstract images seem to speak a primordial language, familiar yet foreign. With that in mind, we hope you enjoy this selection of abstractions by our RSG artists.

The Rental Sales Gallery, Portland Art Museum recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands the museum now stands.

These include the Willamette Tumwater, Clackamas, Kathlemet, Molalla, Multnomah and Watlala Chinook Peoples and the Tualatin Kalapuya who today are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and many other Native communities who made their homes along the Columbia River.

We also want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities - past, present, future - and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.
