ation, even if it leads to abstraction. Art, being artificial by definition, cannot equal nature's infinite abundance, where beauty is always present. Even in disasters, death and decay nature reveals signs of rebirth, recovery hope and magnificence. It is such (often hidden beauty), not prettiness, which I am looking for and often find missing in contemporary art. I agree with Matisse, who said "my choice of colour does not rest on any scientific theory; it is based on observation, on feeling, on the very nature of each experience.
